  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I’m sorry you are worried about a swelling at the top of your leg and can understand you wanting to find out more.

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Symptoms can often have straightforward medical explanations. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so we always encourage people to make an appointment to see their GP if their symptoms are persisting. Doctors are trained to assess symptoms and can arrange tests if they feel it’s necessary to try to find out what might be going on. If needed, they may consider referring you to the hospital for further assessment.

    I hope you know more about your situation soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,
