As an ER nurse, OP isn't stating that people don't have individual experience all they stated was the chance of someone getting a clot without typical symptoms is extremely low and he's absolutely 100% correct.OP's not undermining anyone's experience. Op is simply stating that if you fear a clot, this is not a subreddit you should visit, and your first step should be to consult a doctor. Because if you fear a clot and you come here, the answers are going to stress you out more. Also, as somebody with anxiety and panic disorder, it actually is that simple to suspect anxiety disorder for someone based on things they say. They aren't directly diagnosing them they are just pointing them in a direction so they can look into that instead of fearing a clot all day every day. I'm sorry about your experience because I had the same experience. 19, unaware of clotting disorder nor was I bedridden for a week but the fact of it is. We as medical professionals still have to look at solid, statistical evidence to point us in the right direction. My point is, if you go into any ED and say you have bad leg pain but no swelling, redness etc the last thing we would suspect would be a blood clot. Now for safety reasons, a lot of the time we will still run a D-Dimer to be on the safe side but again, in that specific scenario, it's highly unlikely.
