Deep Vein Thrombosis. Got it. Thanks y'all. I'll keep you posted. :p I'm sure I'll be fine.
Good luck and definitely let us know how it turns out. Hopefully it's nothing! If it isn't anything, then you can just tell the docs some crazy people on the mturk forums told you to go to the ER for DVT and take a picture of his face when you do.

My husband had almost the same thing. We thought it was a clot but when they examined him they told him it was cellulitis. His leg was black and blue and hurt tremendously bad when he stood on it. But he waited too long and that is why it was black and blue. He came close to losing his leg because of it.

Yea, I hate having a medical background. I'm paranoid about everything now. I'm also stubborn and hate going to the Doc, but I've seen too many people in situations where they should've gotten checked out, but didn't.

I'm glad he's ok now and he got it taken care of!

My husband had a PE in 2011 so I am clot paranoid.

Hi all,

We are getting towards the end of our image project for 2016. We have about 7 batches left to go.

Unfortunately, the performance as a group has been on a steady decline. About 45-50% of hits came back with a picture for batches 1-10 but only about 30% of hits came back with a picture for batches 11-20. The latest batch came back at only 25%.

Let's finish strong, as these results will help in my efforts to get approval for larger funding for 2017.

In order to help do so, we're increasing the pay to $.05 for the remainder of the batches. On top of that, you no longer have to verify the address
for the remainder of these batches (or until otherwise notified) which should save you some time in your search. Please remember to check the name, including middle (if available) just in case there are two doctors with the same name on the same website.

If you have any questions please let me know.

PS - To be clear, we're not expecting 50% of the hits to have an image (although that would be great), but we should definitely be closer to 40% than 25%.

I actually had a hairline ankle fracture that happened a while back (I'm pretty sure it happened in Aug) and it didn't REALLY bug me until about a few weeks ago when I fell down the stairs. I'm sporting a boot now. :(

I hope it turns out to be something minor. But better to be safe.
