Leg blood clots: symptoms and diagnosis | Ohio State Medical Center

The most common place outside the heart to have an artery blockage is the legs. Talal Attar, MD, FACC, an interventional cardiologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, says many individuals fail to mention the pain they are feeling in their legs, assuming it is merely due to aging.

However, blockage in the legs often coincides with walking, with the pain occurring with some consistency—after the same distance walked and typically after a similar period of rest. The pain usually does not occur when sitting or lying down.

Dr. Attar explains that the diagnosis, treatment and risk factors for clots in the leg and other locations outside the heart are similar to blockages associated with the heart.

I find it very sad that I had to go to YouTube after visiting the Cleveland Clinic and being diagnosed with this to get further clarification as I was not told in detail how to go about curing this problem besides to take blood thinners.

Even if we do mention a concern, doctors don't find it or even bother to until it's too late, and a person has strokes.
