A member asked:
Does deep vein thrombosis hurt? would you know it if you had it in calf ?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sometimes: DVTs commonly present as swelling and pain in the calf area. However, they're not always associated with these symptoms which can make them more difficult to detect.

Usually yes: Usually acute DVT can cause a painful swelling. Venous ultrasound is commonly used to detect deep vein thrombosis in calf or other parts of extremities.
