NHS Warns: Call 111 for Leg Pain

The NHS warns of a serious leg symptom that could indicate a life-threatening blood clot. Key symptoms include throbbing pain, swelling, warm skin, and hard or sore veins. If you suspect DVT, seek urgent medical attention as clots can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. Factors like age, smoking, and history of DVT increase risk. Prevention tips include maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, and drinking plenty of water. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story.
