6 Disease Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

Calf pain – muscle strain or blood clot?

Calf pain is the pain in the back of the leg, between the knee and ankle, usually caused by a cramp or muscle strain. Sometimes, calf pain can be a symptom of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blood clots in the deep veins within the legs.

Around 2 million Americans are affected by this condition every year, some of them even develop life-threatening complications. “The danger is that a piece of the clot could break loose and cause pulmonary embolism [a clot in the lungs], which could be fatal,” says Sandra Fryhofer, MD, spokeswoman for the American College of Physicians.

Ordinary cramps or muscle strains and tensions are much easier to treat with Magnesium supplements.
