A member asked:

Constant anxiety about dvt/pe, saw doctor couple months ago with same fear and he thought i was crazy. have on/off pains in left calf. 27 yr old, fat?

Probably not: Being overweight is not a sign of blood clotting! If paranoid, get a venous ultrasound of the leg in question. So many structures in the leg can hurt without it being a blood clot.
