Lifestyle tips

If you are getting out of a car let your legs sit outside the car for a couple of minutes and rub them slowly to get the blood flowing back to them

Hmm, if it was a weight issue i'd imagine there would be more said about it with how many people we have here that are bigger then yourself. Hopefully more people who can realte will respond.

My suggestion is that you consult a physician. It is possible to determine if you have clotting in your legs via ultrasound examination. Also, there are tests to determine if you have a genetic disposition toward clotting.

This is worth checking out because once a blood clot forms in your legs it can migrate elsewhere such as the longs (pulmonary embolism) which can be quite serious, even fatal. Symptoms of a PE include difficulty breathing or severe pain in the back; if this shows up you need to get to an emergency room right away.
