I have pain in my right leg, maybe 5 on a scale of 10. The leg is swelling, I believe due to my consumption of about 3 ounces of 40 proof whiskey. Perhaps there is a conflict with my current medicines, which are:Aspirin 81 mg tablet at bedtime; Atorvastatin 20 mg daily; Clopidogrel 75 mg daily; Hydralazine 25 mg daily; Hydrachlorothiazide 25mg daily; Lisinopril 20 mg twice daily; Calcium Carbonate 600mg daily. Any ideas on the reason for this reaction?
Well though the history is quite restricted as you need to tell how significant is the swelling and whether its progressive with discoloration or not. But if it's a significant swelling which is progressive, there are two possibilities. In case your limb is red and quite painful associated with fever specially if u have any trauma history or if your a diabetic, first possibility is of cellulitis which is a soft tissue infection can be treated by antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Second will be of vein thrombosis which is a condition of a blockage in the flow in your veins. To rule that out you need to undergo a USG lower limb with color Doppler which will help in saying if it's a soft tissue swelling or it's a vein thrombosis.
