I've had pain in one calf since week 1 and I'm not sure what to make of it. I have a history of health anxiety, but I don't want to ignore it since I had a risk factor for clotting (birth control). Surgeon wasn't worried but said I should do an ultrasound if I was concerned. I held off and saw my PCP last week. She did a physical exam and told me that she wasn't concerned. The pain isn't constant or bad (like a 2/10) but it is still occurring. Should I be concerned or is it just the anxiety?
