Was sitting earlier and thought my leg was really achy, just at the top at my thigh, couldnt figure out what it was.
Was on the phone to my mum there and realised the top of my leg is all swollen
Got off the phone mega quick & phoned NHS 24 for advice....
Went through all my symptoms... no rash, no hard swelling, no discolouring, no pain as such just an ache and this swelling at the outside of my thigh... sort of a handspan size swelling.. the nurse admitted he didnt really know what it was but wasnt overly concerned, didnt think it was a clot. Told me to take painkillers and apply a cold compress & see how it was in an hour or so.
Phoned back my very relieved mum to tell her..... while I was chatting I sat down at the PC again and realised........... for some reason I sit lopsided, leaning on my right, so my big fat leg gets pushed against the chair arm and the handspan sized hole in it
So its official... Ive got Miniminitis... I need to get offline more
