So it turns out that I need to take 2-3 days rest.
Swelling and bruising.
I noticed a swelling at on the right anterior medial aspect of my leg. After messaging Richard he suggested I should go to a doctor/hospital.
We went to the next town and then caught a taxi back to Sahagun (11 km walking wasted).
The doctor at the medical centre said I have a thrombus in my leg and should not walk for 2-3 days.
She also thought the leg was slightly oedematous.
I'm now on low dose aspirin and amoxicillin as well.
So catching train to Leon where we have a hotel booked for three nights.
Penny is now busy calculating how to make up lost time. We will have two rest days for sure in Leon and then probably start walking again.
DVT. Thought you go that from sitting too long rather than walking too long? Do you need anticoagulants? Can you get an ultrasound? Hope a few days rest does the trick
