This weird thing has been happening to me lately. It's mostly on my right leg but sometimes my left too. The skin around my knee and ankle feels tight but then I look and it doesn't look swollen. I've even checked for pitting and nothing.
When I flex my foot down I feel like the skin across the top of my ankle is tight. But if I look at my leg it doesn't look swollen.
I'm probably obsessing and making something out of nothing. But since finding out I have varicose veins and venous insufficiency, I've been terrified of clots.
I don't have any pain or redness in my leg, just this sensation that the skin feels tight but doesn't actually appear swollen.
