Sore knee following international travel

Last year I had a right calf DVT and pulmonary embolism, now I'm on permanent thinners, so I know that the chances of a future clot are slim, but...

Flew internationally on Wednesday, on Sunday woke up with a sore and swollen knee. Painful to walk on... I can't find any record of clots in knees, and I am on thinners, but it was just after a rather uncomfortable travel where I was definitely not able to do my normal stretching. Anyone had a clot in their knee? Is that a thing?

Or am I just paranoid?

(FYI, now 10 months since DVT. Calf still 7cm larger than left side. Doctor doesn't seem particularly worried. Not painful but restricts trouser choice.)
