Calf pain

Do you go into the hospital for something identical to serious symptoms they warn you to call or come in ASAP when you're ~90% sure they're from something else. I really don't want to waste the time and $ but I've got calf pain. It's like sore to the touch but I wore crappy shoes all day yesterday. It's low calf like maybe my Achilles' tendon is just pissed. I figure I'll reassess in the morning but what would you do?

  • I would call

  • I'd prob call if you have any other symptoms to go along with it. Are you afraid of a clot?
                                                                                      
  • I'd call and let them know what's up, explain the situation. I'm currently calling in every headache I get even if I know it's because LO has been crying for 2 hours and I am just tired because they would rather know it happened in case other things start to act up.  I feel bad about calling an on-call doctor after hours just to report an exhaustion headache, but they really want to know about it.

    I'm sure your doctor would feel the same about your leg pain, especially if clotting is a worry for you.  They may just tell you to keep an eye on things anyway.

  • Doesn't hurt to call. Could be nothing but could be serious.
