inhad a dvt 15 years ago. Resolved with blood thinners.   Then a p.e. Post operative resolved by lifetime warfarin regularly monitored.

recently the calf has been a bit achey but no other symptoms i.e. swelling, heat, throbbing.  Feels like a sprain but i have anxiety and am concerned.  Gp can see nothing.  Does a dvt sometimes leave you with slight muscle damage that can recur from time to time.  Thiis is the second time its happened.

    My only symptoms for DVT were feelings like I had pulled something, no swelling or heat. Doctor kept saying it couldn't be but I asked for scan and yes I had one, then after being on thinners for 3 months they stopped them, about three months later started getting symptoms again and had to ask for scan and clot was either still there or new one so now on eliquis permanently. I'd go and ask for a scan.
