Subject: My spasms and calf pain

I finally went to the dr's today about my bad calf. Don't know If you remember but it's very swollen and hard, got a pain deep inside and sometimes spasms. Dr isn't a 100% sure it is the Arthur or potassium but may be a DVT. I had a d.dimer blood test that He was hoping to get back today and If that's positive it's a heprin injection and a special scan. Fingers crossed it isn't a DVT but i'll keep you posted. Go well all X

fingers crossed Abbie! Hope it's not DVT - worked as a nurse years ago and lots of us got DVT's from taking the pill - surprising number actually! However, treatment is ok I think so try not to worry too much about it.

GOOD NEWS! My GP rang at 'get this' 10:20pm and told me that the d.dimer blood test that I had this morning was clear so no DVT and no need for a scan. I'm so relieved so it looks like the pain is related to the Arthritis :-) XXX
