A member asked:
Had the cold and was sitting in front of tv for around 5 hours without moving. calfs are a bit stiff. could this be dvt?

Probably not.: You need more than that to think that this a dvt. It is probably a myalgia from cold virus.

A Stiff One, Yeah?: No,you don't.You have DTV (figure that out yourself).You really shouldn't sit in one spot for that long (unless you're duct taped).DVT can be sneaky sometimes but usually there's some swelling and more than "a bit stiff."Like pain deep in the calf.Seems like you wanted to simulate a flight to New York(with movie, of course).Flex your legs a few times.The act of swallowing a Mai Tai 's not enough!

Dvt: Unlikely but if the symptoms persist have it checked out
