Blood Clot !!!!!
Basically I had a small operation two years ago and was under general anaesthetic for a while, as I wouldn’t wake up apparently 
. Anyway while recovering at home i got a really severe pain in the lower part of my leg. It lasted a few days and nothing made it better. However it soon disappeared after about 3 days. In hindsight I was wondering if it was a blood clot 
I didn’t know what to make of it at the time as I was only 15/16.

A blood clot (thrombosis) usually only happens if you have a predisposition towards them either genetically or because of circumstances. These can be: not moving enough (blood circulation in legs not enough), smoking, the pill.
That is why people who have their leg in plaster have to take heparin injections.
There are also genetic dispositions, which can be tested.
But since it was 2 years ago, I would not worry.
