Many patients notice a warm spot near the area where the blood clot has formed. It may feel like a warm sensation or the area may actually feel warm to the touch. In addition, the area may appear red and inflamed.
I would like to add: when a blod clot begins you feel a tightness where the clot is located. If it's in your leg, for example, you may feel your calf tighten-up. You may feel stiff, like when you over-exercise or lift something too heavy. The warmth, I have found, is the most obvious sign that you have a clot. There may also be discoloration, a light purple tinge, in your skin. If that happens, you may have deep-vein thrombosis and that can be very serious. One more thing, know that a clot does not always cause pain. You may feel a little tingling and, unless the clot is severe, you may still be able to walk on it--but don't! When I suspect a clot, I immediately pull out my walking cane and take the weight off of it.
