Blood clot and severe weakness in right leg.

I hope this makes sense, but I am a little worried. I have a port in my right upper chest feeding in to the right side of my neck. Two weeks after having this port put into place I developed a blood clot in my right arm (10-20100. Had surgery to remove clot have been doing great since. Taking blood thinners daily. This last week my right arm and hand began to swell again. It is no where as bad as last time, so I have been hoping it will clear up on it own. However, this morning when I woke up I noticed my vision was a little off, everything was pretty blurry this clear up in about an hour. Today was a pretty easy day, however I walked a lot. Tonight I have noticed pain in my upper right leg and groin area. Thinking nothing about, thinking it was from all the walking done today. I had to get in the floor on my hands and knees looking under the couch for something. When I tried to get up my right leg does not want to move in the quads. When I sit in a chair with my knees bent, I am able to lift my left foot off the ground no problem or pain. When I try to lift my right foot, it take everything in me to lift it just a few inches. So I laid down with my legs straight. I can lift my left leg right off the bed, but I can only lift the right leg just barley off the bed and I have pain in my quads. I have a headache in my left temple. Could I have just pulled something in my right leg? Should I be really worried or is this just something to watch for changes? When I stand to walk I have to get my balance before I take my first step, the first few steps I look like a duck waddling, then it gets easier to walk. Please any advise would be helpful. Thanks!!

I agree with C2 I think a run by the ER is called for. Better to be safe than sorry. Do keep us posted on how you are doing. Hugs!

Go to ER.

Yeah, well. I feel like a real ditz. I should also have suggested that Modda check her temperature. There could be infection in the port or line that I failed to address.

And, just for the record, neither coumadin nor warfarin are blood thinners - they just reduce one of the clotting factors, the "viscosity" of the blood remains the same as if you didn't take either.

Modda65, I hope you are feeling ok! Message me if you ever need to talk about clots. Sadly, I've had my fair share of them. What you described sounds like clots to me. And, FTR if you DO suspect clots, DO NOT MASSAGE NOR APPLY HEAT!!! This could cause the clot to dislodge and move to your lung, heart, or brain which can be fatal.
