Absolutely it could. Or an infection. Or your spine compressing nerves.

Has anyone even suggested, like I said in a previous post, a darn BABY ASPIRIN?!!!! Maybe ask the nurse for that, if it's okay.

Any itching or warm areas anywhere? I've only had a superficial clot and I had redness, warmth and itching. You don't even have to have symptoms of a clot.

Just relax - you are going to get the care you need.
