Anika Sharma, a 28-year-old software developer...
Anika Sharma, a 28-year-old software developer and avid runner, had been experiencing a persistent, dull ache and a feeling of heaviness in her left calf for weeks, especially after her evening runs. Initially dismissing it as a muscle strain, she grew concerned when she noticed subtle swelling and a faint bluish discoloration. Her primary care physician, noting her recent long-haul flight to visit family in India, was concerned about a possible deep vein thrombosis (DVT). He urgently referred her to a radiologist for a Doppler ultrasound of her left leg. Anika was anxious during the procedure, lying still as the cool gel was applied and the transducer moved over her calf. The quiet, rhythmic 'whooshing' sounds of her blood flow were both strange and reassuring. The radiologist was calm and explained each step, pointing out the veins on the screen. The scan confirmed a small, non-occlusive DVT in her superficial femoral vein. Relieved to have a diagnosis but scared by the term 'blood clot,' Anika was started on anticoagulant medication. With treatment, her symptoms resolved within days. Emotionally, she shifted from fear and uncertainty to immense relief and a cautious determination to manage her health proactively, incorporating new awareness about travel and hydration into her active lifestyle.
