A clot in a deep vein can cause throbbing or cramping pain that doesn’t go away with rest. The pain often starts in the calf or thigh and worsens when walking or standing.
3. Skin Redness or Discoloration
If your skin looks red, bluish, or unusually pale in a certain area, it may signal restricted blood flow caused by a clot.
4. Warmth in the Affected Area
Blood clots often cause localized warmth over the skin where the clot is lodged. If one leg feels warmer than the other, it’s a red flag.
