Pain, swelling: Arterial thrombosis results in loss of blood flow into the leg, and the larger the vessel involved, the worst the symptoms: cyanosis, extreme pain, loss of function, subsequent gangrene. Venous thrombosis: pain, mild like a pulled muscle to severe; swelling; mottling of the skin; and may have chest pain if blood clot travels to lungs.
