How can i tell if my sprained ankle is becoming deep vein thrombosis which i have a family history of? i sprained my ankle one wk ago ?

DVT: Likely would be calf pain, calf swelling, possibly redness, it is in the calf and not the ankle.

See a doctor: After an exam if he feels there is a problem he will order the proper testing.
