Update: it was a 15× 8 cm lipoma in my left hip wrapped in my glute
Dr thinks it's a sciatic nerve but I was wondering if it could be a blood clot and xesy not a CAT nor MRI was administered
A lot of doctor's offices now have their own doppler and are able to use it. (Doppler is an ultrasound) that can pick up blood flow if its impeded or not. I have seen blood clots on people that is located in the leg. The leg in the calf area is redden and they do have pain and its so tender the person won't allow you to really even touch it. So, whenever someone starts saying they have calf pain I would send them to the ER. We don't want the clot to travel to the lungs or the heart. If you haven't seen your doctor I would recommend that you do so and or call your doctor ASAP. I am praying for you. God bless.

I have had blood clots two times! First was a fall that broke my ankle. War fun and then aspirin everyday! 10 years later blood clots again with no injury. Back on blood thinners but in all testing done it was discovered I had SLE lupus. My vitamin D was almost non existent even though I was outside. Rash developed on my arms and I had like shin splint pain! Please get tested for blood clots!
