hamstring again

I limped around the house today.

Even when sitting perfectly still, my hamstring still hurts. It feels sort of like it was punched hard a while ago. There's no discoloration, no swelling, no heat. It just always hurts. It hurts mildly when I sit still, and it hurts more when I move. I dislike getting out of my recliner chair in front of the tv, and it's not just because of the cold.

After work today, I took a hot shower, then I put on denim pants and my shoes to test their fit on my body. I still can't detect any of the swelling in my feet or thigh that came with my last blood clot. The feeling is reminiscent enough of that old clot, however, that I took a low-dose aspirin yesterday and today. I checked online this afternoon, though, and I don't have any of these symptoms of another clot in that same leg. I'll stop with the aspirin.

I'm disappointed that it seems to get worse instead of better. If nothing improves by Monday (a week after it first appeared), then I'll call for a doctor appointment to see what's going on.
