Swollen Left Leg Only

in Pregnant after 35

I have had a very swollen and painful left leg for about 3 weeks now.  I have a Doppler on the leg this afternoon and I am extremely nervous.  I really don't want them to find anything wrong like a blood clot, but my leg hurts so bad that I just would like some relief!  I am only 11 weeks 6 days along so the leg is really concerning.  If it wasn't for this crazy leg issue, this pregnancy would be great.  (sounded a little like the end of Scooby Doo right there:)

 

Well, thanks for listening:)

    Holy Hannah that is a lot of cash to be dropping.  So sorry you have to deal with this.  It will all be worth it when you get to hold your little baby after all of this is over.  Maybe your pharmacy has drug discount program that you may

    What meds are you on?  Ask for Enoxaparin, it's the generic of Lovenox.  They should be able to prescribe that.
