Blood clot symptoms: The sensation in your leg – it feels like ‘a long thin sausage’
“If the clot is lower down the leg, it might only be the calf that is affected, and this is often mistaken for cramp,” he elaborated.
“If the clot is in the thigh veins or the pelvis, then the whole leg may be swollen and tender.”
To help reduce the risk of developing dangerous blood clots, Professor Whiteley recommends “moving regularly”.
“When working from home or from an office all day, it can be easy to go long periods without much exercise,” said Professor Whiteley.
