Symptom #10: Worsens When the Leg Is Lowered
When we have certain injuries or other medical conditions, we will sometimes try and stay as still as we can. This is because contact with the injury, or being sat in certain positions, can make the symptoms worse. Many patients with thrombophlebitis will know this well because their symptoms can get worse when sat in certain positions.
The symptoms of the condition will get worse when the patient puts their leg in a lower position. This is likely to be felt even more when the patient has just woken in the mornings. It can become quite debilitating for some patients as moving around can become very uncomfortable for them.
