So, I flew back from Hong Kong lasts Weds overnight, was exhausted, slept for 8 hours, got up 2 hours before landing at Heathrow, bit of pain in right calf, thought it was just cramp. Sat back down till landing. Walking from the plane to immigration, I had to keep stopping, the pain in my leg was fucking unbearable. Took me ages to get to immigration. Got to the long stay car park, drove back to Devon, no pain. Got out of the car to get the dog at Kennels, fucking painful, couldn't walk.
Went to the doctors that afternoon, the Dr asked another GP for 2nd opinion as calf wasn't clearly swollen, but foot/ankle full of blood/bruising and she said clearly varicose veins had ruptured. Probably clot downstream.
They gave me Delteparin self-injections, which I've been doing daily in my gut. Going to DVT Clinic today. Leg still hurts a little.
FUUUUU.
