Do I have a clot in my thigh?
44 male, 6'2" 320lbs. Not asking for a diagnosis here or assuming that I can get one from Reddit, but I'm looking for thoughts from people experienced with this.
My left side inner thigh just above the knee area - there is a pain that has lasted about 6 days. It hasn't gotten any worse or better. It isn't a consistent pain - it only hurts with certain movements or if I gently press around the area. There is no visible bruising or discoloration. I'm an overweight guy so either there is no swelling, or if there is - I cannot recognize any. The area does feel slightly warm to the touch but I noticed that the same area on my other knee feels a bit warm also so maybe it's just due to the veins in this area. It doesn't feel alarmingly warm.
I do sit around often as I am a professional photographer and sometimes I'm sitting all day at my desk editing photos. Outside of photoshoots which can be rather physical, I'm not super active and I don't really go for walks either. I would say I eat better than the average American but I could be doing better.
Should I get a blood test and ultrasound just to be sure? Or do the symptoms I describe not really fall in line with a clot? I'm tall and I bang myself into things all the time so its possible I just hit my leg against something and can't remember doing it (but there is no bruise).
