I have leg thigh knee pain from last one month. I have done blood test. Vitamin b12 n vitamin d was low so doctor proscribed and also cholesterol was high so I consult cardiologist and he proscribed medicines to reduce. I am taking all medicine from last week still I didn't get relief in leg pain. I feel I have blood clots somewhere and on thigh there is thickness that was I never seen. My weight is 50 kg and height 5'2 and my body type is slim and no one is obesity history in my family. I took so oily and junk foods from last two months. Could anyone suggest to whom I should consult for blood clot or can I take aspirin. Is it safe as I have read it melts clots?

Hello lybrate-user. To know the exact point of clotting doppler test is precribed, as per the reports the treatment will be given buti would like to suggest you to do some stretching exercises at home like 1. Leg lift. Lie down on the floor with the back flat. Use a�yoga�mat, folded blanket, or exercise mat for comfort on a hard floor. Keep the left leg straight and bend the right leg slightly at the knee, bringing the foot closer to the body. Pull the abdominal muscles inward by imagining the belly button pulling down toward the floor. Doing this should bring the lower back down against the floor and help provide extra support during the exercise. Place a hand beneath the lower back to make sure that there is no space between the small of the back and the floor. If there is space for the hand, gently push the lower back down on top of the hand. Slowly lift the left leg without bending the knee. Keep the toes pointed toward the ceiling and stop when the leg is about 12 inches off the floor. It should not be higher than the bent knee on the right leg. Slowly lower the leg back down to the floor. Do not put it down too quickly or let it drop. Repeat two more times with the same leg. Switch side and repeat. 2. Hamstring stretch. Stand straight with the knees only 1?2 inches apart. Hold on to a stable chair, the countertop, or another object for balance. Slowly bend one knee behind the body, lifting the heel off the floor while keeping the thighs aligned. Continue to lift the heel in a smooth motion until the knee bend reaches a 90-degree angle. Keep the straight leg slightly bent to avoid locking it. Hold the bent leg up for 5 seconds and then slowly lower it to the floor. Switch sides and repeat the same. 3. Hamstring curls. This exercise is a variation of the standing hamstring curl. A person can try this version if they have access to a weight bench that is purpose-built for this exercise. It may be more challenging than the standing hamstring curl, depending on how much weight a person uses. Lie face down on the bench with the knees close together. Grip the handles for stability. Tuck the feet under the weight. The weight should sit just above the heels. Slowly bend both knees, using the force of the legs to raise the weight up. Continue to lift the weight in a smooth motion until the knees bend at a 90-degree angle. Hold the weight up for 5 seconds and then slowly lower it back down. Do it for 10-15 times. And also if possible take ift (inferential therapy) for 5 days. Ift also helps removing clots.
