Blood Clot or Deep Vein Thrombosis
Blood’s function is to continuously flow in the body to deliver oxygen-rich blood and nutrients needed to function. This process must be done perpetually so the body can maintain its overall health. Cases like blood clots are normal, for it is a gel-type compilation that usually forms in the veins and arteries. But this condition becomes harmful when the blood clot doesn’t dissolve.
Blood clots can also be dangerous when the clotting occurs in a major vein; this condition is called deep vein thrombosis. In addition, this clotting can cause thigh pain, especially when formed in the lower legs or one or both thighs.
Some blood clots are stationary, while others are moving. The moving blood clots or dislodging blood clots are more dangerous than the first one. This is due to the blocking of the bloodstream in any body parts. For example, when the blood clot occurs in the deep vein found in the leg or thigh, it causes a throbbing pain, stabbing sensation, redness on the thigh, swelling, and numbness in one or both thighs. This prompts the body to react because of the blockage of blood formed in the body’s major vein.
