I have a red line on my thigh that moves. Been there for 3 years. Is that a blood clot?

It could be normal or it could be a miscarriage. If you are experiencing bad pains then I would go to the doctor to make sure it isn't a miscarriage. You could take a pregnancy test first and it would tell you. It is normal to have some blood clots though. Sometimes more than other times.

i agree with starrwood that it may be a blood clot, it sounds like it.  \n\nor, do you run?  maybe you pulled a tendon.  go to a sports medicine doctor for analysis.  but ask your family physician first because she may think you should get it analyzed first to see if it IS a blood clot, which may become quite dangerous.  it could come loose and go to your heart or brain and kill you if you have one.  \n\notherwise, what i am really thinking is that perhaps you mean a leg cramp (???)  a lot of people get leg cramps at night.  sometimes they are in the foot, curling the toes so painfully.  then it jumps to the other foot (or leg), so that both of them hurt.  it happens so fast!  it's very interesting, and i do not know why the cramping, very painful, would first come to one leg (foot), then be shared in equal measure so fast with the other one!  \n\nfor my leg cramps i take an old-fashioned prescriptive drug called quinine glutamate.  quinine is also found in most brands of tonic water.  tonic water is sold where soda pops are found at the grocery store.  sometimes tonic water with quinine helps this cramping problem.  with me, it does not.  but i do not ALWAYS get leg cramps, so i only use the pills when needed.  \n\nthis drug is thought of these days as "not formulary," which only means that the pharmaceutical companies are in charge of what things the doctors see viable for curing your ills.  in addition, the insurance companies are in cahoots with the pharmaceutical companies, so watch out.\n\nquinine is the best cure for malaria, but i do not know exactly why it also works for leg cramps.\n\ni hope you feel better soon.  make sure it is not a blood clot first.

Well your best bet is to try and find it and remove it, mostly because there is always a chance of infection.  However if you can't find it and its not really bothering you and its a relitively small piece it should be ok for now.  Your body will probably actually work it out after a while, much like it does a sliver.  But if its a bigger piece, becomes painful, red or swollen you need to hobble yourself down to the doctor's office as fast as your other foot can carry you!

sounds to me like exercise induced compartment syndrome.  the thick tissue surrounding your muscles (fascia) is too tight. as you exercise or walk the muscles engorge with blood but are then squashed by the tight fascia. Leads to a cramp like pains in your calves. due to the history it is unlikely to be a blood clot or anything.  you need to go and see a sports specialist dr. they can do a test where they put needles into the compartments to measure the pressure in there as you walk on a treadmill.  they can then do a small operation to split the fascia to relieve some of the pressure

It sounds like you might have a low platelet level. Please tell your doctor about these spots ASAP.

It's possible that it's a varicose vein, but most likely it's a spider-vein.  Spider veins occur when the valve in the vein collapses (this happens fairly often in the legs) and blood gets a bit stagnant, permanently coloring the vein/capillary.  If you had an injury here, the chances of it being a spider vein increase.  If there is no pain associated with it and it isn't raised, then I wouldn't worry about it, but you may ask your doctor the next time you see him (don't make a special appt.), HOWEVER, if there's pain and/or it's raised, I would contact your doctor.

It could be something called a 'fibrous nodule' as well which would hurt more when you put pressure on it but is perfectly harmless. \n\nHowever, in case it is DVT why don't you call NHS Direct if you are in the UK?

Infection?\nBad vein?\nDon't hesitate to go see the doctor; it's serious stuff.

In the thigh bones? How old are you - if you're in your teens, it could be growing pains.\n\nHow long as the pain lasted? Does it come and go? How intense is it? Do certain motions bring it on? \n\nYou should see a physician about this. Probably not poison - poisons generally impact the nerves, muscles and blood.

It has all the sounds of a problem with good blood circulation. Yes, you should be concerned about this.

I had mine taken out about 7 years ago and that happens to me every now and then, but if it is still giving you cause for concern I would say to go see a doctor.

First, I find the first post to be offensive, and if you dont know the answer just dont give it!\n\nSecond your answser - blood clots are caused from the stagnant flow of blood which does not return to the heart.  Unlike your arteries which have alot of muscle in them, your veins rely on compressions of skeletal muscle to return blood back to the heart.  If you are not moving your feet or legs, blood pools and can clot while it is sitting there.\n\nThe tight socks in the hospital compress the skeletal muscle which help blood to return back to the heart.  In flight, your legs can swell, thus tight socks would contrict blood flow and possibly make swelling worse.\n\nNo matter what socks you wear, just do ankle exercises and all will be well! :)

You need to see a doctor to determine whether you have a blood clot in the leg. They can either see it, I don't know how they do that, or send you for a Doppler Echo Test. Went through the same thing and had the Echo Test. Nothing to it, the Echo bounces of your artery and they can tell right away. Don't you fool around with the ifs because this can be serious. If the blood clot goes to your heart you'll be done for. Don't want to scare you but this is serious business, so please go ASAP

It isn't really clots that you're seeing. What it is is tissue from the lining of the uterus. Don't worry, it's completely normal. During your period the lining sheds and is passed through your vagina. It may be painful because of menstrual cramps. It's all normal! No worries!
