Sometimes: A random bruise is not really a cause for concern. DVT usually has swelling and tenderness to touch, especially in the back of the leg.

I came back from an 8-hour flight 2 weeks ago, a month after we took our departing flight of 8 hours. My left leg (thigh and calf) hurt but D-DIMER is negative. No swelling, no warmth, etc. I have two small bruises. Could this be DVT? Muscular pain?
