DVT Charley Horse

I had a calf DVT almost a year ago. Was on xarelto for 3 months then advised to discontinue by hematologist. Did not feel there was a high risk. Last night I had terrible Charley horse in same calf while sleeping. Woke me up and still sore today. No other symptoms. Could just have been a bad cramp that left me sore or could be another dvt!? For those of you who stop blood thinners how do you not worry about every pain being a new clot? I know we have to be cautious but how do you balance being cautious and being paranoid?
