So, for the past 2 or maybe 3 days I've been having these weird things in my right leg sometimes, kind of on the outside part above my knee, where it feels like my blood is having trouble passing or something! I can't feel my heart working any harder, but theres that one spot on my leg where it's pumping like it would if I had just worked out, and it's visibly pumping. It lasts a few minutes then goes away for a long while.

I've no clue what it is. I'm not out of shape, so I don't think it's a clogged artery. Or I hope not anyway. ;D

What's your guys' thoughts? :)

I haven't ever had anything like that and I don't know anybody else who has. Have you spoken to your parents about it? They may be able to give you advice with this. I suggest talking to them about it and maybe consult a doctor.

It sounds like you might have a blood clot where the blood is squeezing through. This would create a bubbling or pumping sensation. Of course, it could also be issues with the nerves. I believe you ought to tell your parents and a doctor.

It might just be a muscle twitch which comes and goes that being said it could also be a clot, I think you should tell your parents, best to stop it now if it is a clot b4 it goes up, by the way I don't recommend exercising until you know what it is

You need to see a doctor right away. If it is a clogged artery, the clot could break loose and go to your lungs and kill you

I have my first aid level two. From what you described, it sounds like a blood clot or possibly a tumour. If it is a blood clot it could be growing until blocked or moved via the blood system. If its a tumour it could spread and build up somewhere else at the same time.

An as for toby, its not the artery he is talking about. if it was he would most definitely know.
