I have aps and fact v leieden. should i be concerned about a "popping" sensation in both of my calves? past dvt, pe and superficial clots.

Yes: With your history of clots and genetic tests, something like that should concern you but most likely is not a clot. Would recommend seeing or calling your doctor for an exam and possible testing. But both calves means less likely to be a clot.

Probably OK: With your history of dvt, pe and leiden factor v, i see why you would be concerned about the sensation in your calves. A venous duplex ultrasound would be the diagnostic test to evaluate a calf dvt. A popping sensation is not usually a symptom of DVT and if you are already on lovenox, (enoxaparin) the chances of further clots are minimal. You should see a vein specialist.

Dvt: Popping sensation could be almost anything However if your concerned and have a history the it makes sense to do a venous Doppler sonogram
