hi there! i am in the exact same boat as you! lol I actually posted tonight as well. started having calf cramps and immediately think blood clots. i too have been to the er multiple times. its so bad the need of reassurance. ive pretty much put myself in that going to the ER multiple times in a month but I’m now just purchasing the test online. every time pain feels different every time I think it’s something horrible. that’s definitely a vicious cycle.
Hi the more you think about them the more you will get anxious, so try and distract yourself by doing something such as watch telly, read a book, speak to someone, or anything. This is hard at first but with practice it will get easier.
I will say if you have blood clots your leg would probably be very painful, swollen, and sore. For cramp massage the muscle and let it uncramp itself. If the pain then goes away in a fee minutes it’s not a blood clot. x
