I'm not trying to scare you, nor am I looking for sympathy, but I'm an older gamer and have felt those "pulses" in and around 2003, which led to me having a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lung[s]) and it turned out that I had a rather large blood clot in my descending aorta, that, in the end, after all kinds of operations and complications that may/not follow, led to me having a below the knee amputation of my right leg. If you are at all serious and have the means for medical care, mention those pulses to the Doctor who might be taking care of you.
Where the hell do you live??? That sounds barbaric.
I had a blood clot in my leg (back of the knee) and part of the clot went to my lungs and it was severely painful. I went to the hospital where they said I had 2 options:
1. They go through the groin and scraqe the vein where the blood clot is and done is done
OR
2. (This is what they did to me) Put me on major blood thinners and stay in bed for several days while the blood passing by the clot breaks it up little by little.
Eventually after the several days they did another ultra sound on the back of my knee and it was gone.
