My friend you're going to want to get that checked out.

My dad thought he pulled a muscle in his chest and popped some aspirin and kept truckin', in was only later when his leg started swelling and turning all kinds of nasty colors that he bothered to go to the hospital.

Turned out that a workplace injury had resulted in DVT, and he had gritted his teeth through two pulmonary embolisms.

Still kicking to this day, largely in thanks to him finally getting the issue looked at.
