A member asked:
Can a dvt cause a small bruise? i have sciatica,and have a random bruise on my thigh.maybe its a coincidence but i heard dvt and sciatica feel similar
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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?
Would a DVT in the calf cause bruising? I have had pain in my calf for 2 months. 2 dopplers showed nothing. Now I have a bruise that runs down the leg
