Possible DVT? Give me your opinion
Posted , 2 users are following.
For the past week or so, I have been getting fleeting pain behind my left calf. The pain is kind of dull and achey. My calf also twitches randomly only in this leg.
While I was sitting down today, my legs werent even crossed, and my foot started tingling. It went away after 30 seconds, but this is when I really started to worry.
My leg isnt red or swollen, nor does it hurt when I raise my toes but that doesnt really reassure me because Ive heard of people having DVT that have literally no symptoms.
I have not been on any long car rides, no clotting disorders that I know of, I dont smoke. Dont remember straining it. Im not that physically active, but I mean I still move. Im only 18 years old, and Im a dude so no birth control.
Had the same calf twitching sensations 2 years ago. Actually got an ultrasound that time, no DVT. Except that Ive also heard that ultrasounds can miss DVT so I dont even know.
let me know what you think.

Zach I mean this in the nicest possible way but why don't you go to the hospital and get a d-dimmer test and possibly an ultrasound? This site does is for patients not doctors so all you are going to get on here is the experiences and possible advice from people who have themselves had dvt. You have clearly read up on the symptoms so what do you think? If you are genuinely unsure go to the hospital.
