Aching in one leg only

I had a c section 4 weeks ago exactly and everything went fine and recovery was amazing so I was back to normal within about two weeks . The past few nights when I have got into bed I have noticed that one of my legs is aching mainly at the top in my thigh . I am already paranoid about blood clots so my mind is going 100mph now stressing that I secretly have one . Has anyone else had this and have a perfectly logical reason for it 😅

Following because I’m the same but with my lower leg 😭 also paranoid even though I was on blood thinners all the way through pregnancy and the past 6 weeks 😂 if you don’t get any answers I will come back after my postnatal check Monday and tell you what my GP says xo but try ibuprofen it does settle it a bit xx

Im having this as well (also c section 4 weeks ago). My top left thigh is achy / tender to touch. I dont have any other signs of blood clot so ive just keeping an eye on it. Fever and redness are big indicators of clotting

I had (still do at 8 weeks postpartum) exactly the same and when I went for my 6 weeks check I was told it's sciatica and it's common to develop it after a c section. Hang in there ladies x all in the same boat!

Werid you say this. My midwife asked me this today if I had this.. which i don't. But apparently it's something that needs to be raised with your provider "Midwife or health visitor or GP" xx
