Pain, swelling and redness. Refer to seek medical treatment.

Jocelyn,
Pain definately, the leg may be swollen, but the key discriminating factors are: a client/patient will
complain of being woken up a night, the pain is “gripping”, they will have difficulty walking and walk in a painful manner(antalgic).

That’s when they need to see a MD ASAP.

Typically the signs are pain, swelling, possible warmth in the area, and redness or discoloration. Unfortunately, sometimes (about half of the time, according to an NIH report)none of the above.
