Thrombosis?
20 Answers
MIL went to pharmacist today complaining of a sore leg (apparently been sore since Friday) - he refused to treat her and sent to the Dr's who said she had a suspected thrombosis in her leg and sent her for a scan tomorrow.
I was wondering is thrombosis not dangerous - isn't it a blood clot? Why wait 24 hours?
Thank you for your help

I was given a letter to give to A&E and told I had to go straight there. Was triaged and had bloods done at A&E then was sent to a quieter little ward where I waited for the blood result (D-Dimer I believe). The nurse there said if the blood test was positive I'd be given an appointment for a scan the next day. Could she have had a blood test done?
My blood test was thankfully negative so no idea about the scan part.
