Ultrasound needed: DVT unlikely, but ultrasound can tell for sure. A Baker's cyst is also possible and can be seen on ultrasound. A muscle tear can also do this. See a doctor for an exam.

Evaluation Needed: You should see your primary care, urgent care or emergency department soon. It might just be a pulled muscle but with swelling, tests need to be done to rule out DVT. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Left calf has swelling that goes and comes. Doctors did sonogram and ruled out dvt. Said it can be a muscle spasm. Walk alot, minimal cramping in calf?
Woke up with calf pain. Can't remember having a spasm. No redness/swelling. Only hurts when walking or bending foot. DVT possible? I do sit a lot.
Im a hypochondriac. When I get up from sitting down, I have a twinge type tenderness on the top of my calf. After I take a few steps/walk it off it goes away. No redness or swelling. Terrified of dvt, but just went to the doctor for something else?
I have random shooting pains in my right inner calf. No redness or swelling, no pain to walk. Happens about 5x per day. 21 yo and generally fit- dvt?!
