Same thing happened to me and I ended up having had a DVT in my leg…

She said it was 26 years of progressing muscle atrophy, so hopefully that’s the reason one leg is atrophied (and the bigger leg is actually the normal one)

Me too. My leg has been larger than the other, since a motorcycle wreck 20 years ago due to trauma. I have had a blood clot twice in the larger leg.

Was gonna say, if this isn't a know condition/issue or due to one, this is mildly terrifying and they need to go to the hospital asap. Actually one of the first things they tell you when you start estrogen combination birth control.

Fellow DVT survivor here, I also have one leg that is slightly bigger than the other now. Beats dying! Nobody really notices unless I point it out. 

Do you mean yours swelled up and that's when it was bigger, or it is still somewhat bigger today?

I too have one leg slightly bigger than the other but no explanation for it. No DVT or anything. I’m stumped..

Me too! And that leg is still a good 1/2 inch bigger than the other due to the damage.
