Worried about a blood clot in my right leg

It started a couple days ago, after I had a particularly stressful week at work: I had been feeling an ache in my right leg that was mild at first, but I could feel it in both my legs on and off before it kept to my right leg. When I put my weight on my right leg and bend it that is when the ache gets worse, but I have no skin redness or warmth in that area of my leg. Can stress or anxiety cause this? Please tell me it can.....I can't afford another ER trip.....I'm so scared..... I'm 26 years old, 170 lbs and I walk and/or ride my bike. I had to run home on Saturday to get out of a rainstorm, more running than I usually do.

    You did not say if you have a history of past clots. A DVT will usually show symptoms with swelling, redness, heat, and lots of pain however I have been reading a lot of posts where the patient only has pain. Honestly I would go get it checked.
