Recognizing Thrombosis Symptoms: A Comprehensive Guide

6. Tired Legs

Many patients with thrombosis complain of their limbs feeling very tired. This localized fatigue is different from both leg ache and over-exertion regarding the nature of sensation. It is more akin to a feeling of heaviness in the legs, which incites a degree of lethargy, causing individuals to be averse to much movement. This feeling of tiredness in the legs may begin before other symptoms appear, though not many people pay much heed to it. Moreover, this fatigue can be expected to last post recovery, for as long as a week; several factors including how robust the immune system is, how the body has responded to treatment, and so on, play a role in determining how prolonged the discomfort may be.
