Good news from the doc! The large lump that was growing in the side of my calf was not a blood clot - turns out it was from my cheap razors! My skin is so sensitive that I was getting infections under the skin and usually my body was fighting it off but since the weather has warmed up I've been shaving more and making it worse. So now I'm on antibiotics for 10 days and not shaving anymore!

I haven't been doing my normal workouts because the skin and muscle around it was so painful, not to mention I just felt kinda crappy, which turns out -duh- was because I had a low grade fever from the infection. Good grief! Who knew you could get a bacterial infection without actually cutting yourself! Word to the wise for all the ladies, if you have sensitive skin, steer clear of those $1 disposable razors!
