So I of course am paranoid I have a clot and am going to die instantly.:dizzy:
Looking for ideas after two drs have no idea what I have.
Annoying pain in back of knees started about 2 years ago around 3rd trimester of pregnancy with dd and also I started using a laptop on my lap (so I'm thinking varicose veins from pregnancy and pressure). doesn't resolve after birth, doesn't get worse, persists after 2nd baby (4 months ago) plus I put on a considerable amount of weight, I'm tall and about 40 lbs over my normal ok weight.
Anyway the pain was here and there in the back of my calves and knees until last week I took a car trip 8hrs there and halfway I was worried bc of back of thigh pain (which is new), back of knee and calf pain. Felt the same as before but stronger.
It wasn't constant though on the trip. However sitting in the car on the way back even a couple hours was torture (mostly on back of knees and thigh -- quaRAB).
Made the rest of trip home and it is still coming and going from mild dull ache in back of thighs to random sharp twinges that go in a second or two.
My feet fall asleep easily.
No pain when I walk (or pain improves). I did a 3 mile walk the day after returning from the trip and was fine about halfway until (I swear) the back of my legs got into direct sunlight and then they started to feel itchy then so much pain throughout the back of my legs! (both). 
I'm 25. 4 months postpartum. you can see my veins but they aren't super buldgy. I have pain in the bottom of my feet near the arch that comes and goes and is sharp for a second. laying down feels better and legs do not hurt when I stand first thing. I bruise easily and i can't have my toddler sit on my lap without experiencing discomfort.
am I dying? what is going on? thank you!!
help!!!!
