Thanks for all your feedback, friends. No blood clots were found as a result of the ultrasound. However, just getting into and out of the car and on the examination table was so excruciating that I wish I had just stayed home and rested. I feel that I may have caused some damage by forcing my leg to bend to get into the car. My husband went to Walmart and purchased a wheelchair for me just for this outing. The leg rests couldn't be adjusted to meet the needs of my left leg, so it also caused pain. I honestly felt so dependent and helpless, and realized I am essentially housebound, and that's depressing. I'm really hurting a lot. And to add insult to injury, my brand new ice machine that I just got this week, leaked all over me while I was sleeping, so it's no good anymore. That's a waste of $182 bucks! We found a small tear in the pad. My PT came over before I went for the ultrasound and said I should not do any exercises until clots are ruled out. She told me to just do ankle pumps and gentle knee bends to comfort level. She is the only like4th PT sent to work with me, which does not bode well for developing trust and relationships. I'm not sure I really like having all these different people sent to me the time.
