Possible symptoms of DVT or just a bad coincidence

After testing positive on Feb 9, I finally tested negative and showed antibodies on Feb 22, 4 days ago.

I have gone back to my activities which mean staying at my desk for several hours.

Earlier today I had just gone down and up the stairs at work, and within minutes of sitting down again I felt a sudden sharp pain in my right calf. It had never happened before and I didn't hurt myself or anything like that. Then I also started experiencing a slight feeling of warmth, not really on the whole leg but my foot feels warm.

Minutes later I also felt another jolt of pain close to the arch my foot.

A week ago I had a couple of blood tests to check for anything odd, my D Dimer levels were both times within range, and it actually went down by a single digit the second time. My doctor checked it all and said they were fine and since they weren't increasing it wasn't a problem.

I don't notice any swelling so far and the leg isn't painful to the touch, I actually haven't felt the pain since that one time. Although it does feel slightly weird, like loose but not really, and like I said the calf isn't painful any more.

Could these be DVT symptoms almost a week after getting better of Covid, and with 2 previous blood tests showing no sign of coagulation problems?

Or is this just a bad coincidence?
