Lola,
In short Dr.'s and medicine ruined a near perfect leg.
I was taking a blood thinning medication, a hematologist decided I didn't need it, when the next blood clot formed (it's always funny to use that phrase in context with Jamaica) the local emergency room didn't believe me (I went there on two separate occasions/days). A small blood clot high in my femoral vein (whatever you call the vein that runs next to the femoral artery) -in the inside of my upper leg spread to extend from my lower abdomen down to mid-calf. The pain was excruciating. After five days my GP sent me to the closest big city and I got treatment. A week in the hospital and over a year off work. Initially my leg felt like a piece of cooked meat. All the valves in that major vein were ruined. To this day I have to wear that stocking (if I'm upright on land) you saw me in (near Sun Island). That thing is so hot (temperature-wise).

Oops TMI
But thank you for asking.
