I have a question about blood clots.?

Question

My dad his right leg is really swollen and his left one is a little swollen. he is on fluid pills but is still retaining flud... he is diabetic and has cancer. anyway his right leg is darker then the left one and he says it hurts. do you think it could be a blood clot? or something else. he has Severe dry skin from his Chemo pills so could that be causing the pain? any answers would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Sorry about your dad, please have hime see a dr ASAP. He really should get a medical opinion, so please call them when they open. There could also be bleeding of some type.

Answer 2

He needs to see a medical professional immediately. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to diagnose a condition like this over the internet.

Answer 3

it sounds like it could be serious enough to go to the emergency room to get it checked out. It could be anything though.  is his leg cold to touch?  does he have a pulse in it? it sound like it could be a circulatory problem which, like a blood clot, could be serious enough to go to the emergency room tonight.  could you maybe call his doctor?
