Q: Do I Have Dvt?
asked by: TheZanke on January 25th, 2007
New User, Becoming EHEALTHy
Hi, my name is alex and I hail from westfield, in, and I am 18... I have never been on an airplane in my life but I think I may have dvt. I am, as some put it, a computer guru... I sit either at home or at my computer in the office every day almost all day, unless I am driving or at school... (both of which is pure sitting). I take energy pills to stay active, alert, and awake... I know there have been a few cases of dvt related to computer people but it was said to be extremely rare...


Anyways, as of like 3 days ago my leg has started to randomly go numb and I though it was just because of the way I have been sitting.... Though its the same as always... I am overweight, I weigh like 380lbs at 18... That is a lot I know... I don't eat as often as expected I guess I am just unlucky... I woke up this morning, not to an alarm or my parents but because my leg felt like it was on fire... I had to move around alot to get it to go away... I was sitting at work and talking to my mom when I was rubbing my leg, due to it starting to numb again, and I felt a small lump on my thigh... I am so worried right now and don't know what to do so please... I need help... Thank anyone who is going to respond soooo much.
