I've been taking Eliquis for a little over a month now, and my period started three days ago. I'm having a lot of accidents. At what point should I reach out to my vascular doctor? I can't walk yet because of the surgery, and I'm 34 with a blood clot that blocked blood flow to my leg for over three weeks. They're saying I might need an amputation soon. Can you help me understand what's normal and when I should be concerned?

View allI've had swelling in my lower leg near the ankle for about five years now, and I've also noticed some numbness around the last two toes on my left leg. I'm currently taking Losartan H as a maintenance dose. My blood pressure is normal, and I don't have diabetes. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?
Long standing edema in the leg needs a proper examination. Oedema in the legs can be majorly due to some heart problem or kidney damage. Since you have both blood pressure and diabetes, it becomes necessary to check the functional ability of both these organs. You can undergo a thorough examination of kidney function and of heart

I've got this thing going on with my leg where the blood has clotted around this Marathi word like it's all red and clotted under the skin around the infected area. It's kind of worrying me. What do you think might be going on or how serious is this? Should I be doing something about it right away?
The symptoms you described, including a visible clot and redness around the infected area, suggest a skin abscess or furuncle; in Marathi, "Karat" often refers to a boil or abscess, which typically requires medical attention, such as incision and drainage, antibiotics, or warm compresses to promote healing and prevent further complications.
