Do blood clots hurt? What else could be making my foot hurt as if it is going to explode?

Go get this looked at NOW if you think it could be a blood clot.  My best friend's husband spent a week in ICU for this.  If it is a clot, parts of it can break off and go to your lungs, heart, or brain.  He had a throbbing and swelling also.  It's probably not a clot, but who wants to take that chance!  I hope you are okay!

You should check your shoe. But after you do, go buy doctor scholl's foot gels. Make sure you go to your doctor, because the feeling may be a sign for bigger problems if the pain doesn't go away.

DVT is usually accompanied by pain in the legs, which moves up into the body, usually round the lung area, making it hard to breathe.\nIf your pain is getting worse, if you find it hard to breathe, (its a sharp pain on taking a deep breath) or are suffering breathlessness, then you should be in the Casualty dept of your hospital.\nWhat they will do is put you on a drip to dissolve the clot, and this will help.They will more than likely do a body scan or a deep vein artery blood test from your wrist to see if its a DVT.\nMy mother had a DVT a few years ago and she was saved, but my aunt died because it was at a time when we didnt know too much about DVT.Go to your doctor if you can, as soon as possible because this is very serious.  Good luck.

Complications can include:\nBleeding from a varicose vein, which may occur without an injury or after an injury to the thin skin over the varicose vein. Bleeding can be heavy, but it can be controlled by elevating the leg and applying pressure to the area that is bleeding. \nBlood clots or inflammation (superficial thrombophlebitis), when a blood clot and inflammation develop in a small vein near the surface of the skin. Unlike blood clots in deep veins, clots in superficial veins rarely travel to the heart or lungs, where they could cause serious blockages. \nDry, stretched, swollen, itching, or scaling skin. \nThin, fragile, easily injured skin at or above the ankle. \nOpen sores (ulcers), usually near the ankles. \nSkin color changes (stasis pigmentation) around the ankles and lower legs. \nFungal and bacterial infections, which may arise from skin problems resulting from fluid buildup (edema) in the leg and increased risk of tissue infection (cellulitis).

Yes, and it hurts like hell!!  The best thing to do is to stay off of it completely!  At least 3 weeks after diagnosed, start rehabilitation.  All I did for the first month after being diagnosed was rotate my foot. That stuff HURTS!!!

increase Ur water intake so that the blood and everything flows freely....u could have deep vein thrombosis which is clotted veins in the feet that do not let circulation of the blood pass through efficiently enough

There are lots of reasons people get swelling in their feet, most commonly because of heart conditions that lead to a weak heart that is not able to pump blood out of your legs, so you end up with pooling blood in your viens (venous stasis). But that does not happen quickly. If this is something that happened with in a short period of time, I would guess that it is an allergic reaction to something. Being that it is in both feet, it's obviously not a bite on one foot. Could be something you ate or walked in. I would elevate your feet for a while and see if the swelling goes down. If not, then talk to your doctor. If it gets worse, or you see any visual changes in your legs like streaking or redness, go to an urgent care.

Crystal, get to a doctor as soon as possible.  This sounds like it could be the start of nerve damage in your foot.  We diabetics have to be on the lookout for numbness or tingling in the extremities---they can be signs of problems with our sugar levels.  Are you following a sensible diet, exercising and checking your sugar regularly?  Let me know, if you would, how the doctor's visit goes---just post some details.  Good luck!

Sounds like you are subconsciously making up for the slight immobility in your leg. I can understand why it would cause foot pain, especially in the Achilles tendon, since your inertia as you move would be causing you to be hyperextending your foot. It's probably also connected to the knee pain. You may have developed a habitual limp. Anyone who's ever injured their knee or ankle has experienced the same sort of feeling. I can imagine that this feels completely abnormal though, or else you wouldn't have been describing it here. If you have BlueCross BlueShield, I know that specialists are covered without recommendation under "special office visits". You should have an orthopaedist do an xray to ensure that your cartilage isn't developing elasticity and that it's not flipping around a bone or growth. He should also watch your walk and see what habits you may have developed. Do you have a cane? I've learned that this can cause a weekness in certain muscles, causing others to over-compensate.

It could be a blood clot in your leg. Or just a reduction in blood flow so your nerves are being put into "shock" and you get the tingling feeling. But from what you have said I would highly recommend getting that looked at by your doctor.

me thinks lots wrong but first is poor circulation. go to hospital. Is there anything that may have caused this for starters? Like diabetes, smoking, excessively tight shoes, injury. Is it swollen? spiderbite? check footwear and bed linen, etc. But SEE A DOCTOR NOW

Sounds like poor circulation.  You might want to ask your doctor.  I think poor circulation in your feet can be a sign a diabetes.

Go to a medical supply store and buy some support stockings...NOT the kind you can buy elsewhere; these go up to your knees, actually they are called "Compression Stockings". Wear them at all times, especially when you are up and about.  If you want take them off in bed, make sure to keep your feet elevated above your heart (pillows under your knees).  I had to wear these for severe swelling thatlasted months.  Also, forgot to mention, you should see a doctor to have a test done to rule out your having a blood clot FIRST !!  That is a #1 symptom of a blood clot in your leg(s).  The stockings are called "Compression Stockings", and mine cost around $50....wear them at all times when up and about.  When in bed, make sure to elevate your feet above heart level (pillows under your Knees).\n\nIf you have insurance, get your doctor to write a script for the Compression stockings, and insurance will pay, providing he puts a diagnosis!\n\nGOOD LUCK!

Ice it, keep off of it, keep it elevated, take some NSAID's.  (Non steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)   If it gets worse, Definitely take it to a Doctor.  Take it to One now If you can't move your toes or foot, or if it hurts too much to put wieght on, or if it looks or feels bad enough to raise serious concern.  But if all it is is a Little swelling, don't worry about It To Much.  \n\nFeel Better\n\nUncle Mike

Burning pain is almost always neurological. Do you have diabetes? If yes, it could be neuropathy. Does you left foot hurt worse than your right? You could have two separate things going on, that are unrelated. The hip and leg pain could be arthritis, sciatica, low back nerve impingement, or any number of problems. See another doctor. If the ones you have seen have not given you any kind of diagnosis, then keep looking until you find you who will get to the bottom of your problem, or if you really trust one of the doctors you have already seen, then go back to him. Tell the doctor what's going on and that you want tests to find out what's causing this problem, and if he can do the tests, you want a referral to a specialist. Good luck.
