See orthopedist: Have your orthopedist reevaluate the knee. It is impossible to offer specifics without being able to examine the knee first hand.

A member asked:

I've been 4 days with pain and tightness behind my knee and calf, the pain is mostly when I stand up and walk, there's no redness, no warmth. I have no idea where that came from since I have no injury. I'm a little scared, Can this be a dvt?
