Pain: Doesn't sound like dvt. Ought to see a doc and get it checked. May be musculoskeletal but symptoms are not specific.

Not dvt: It would b rare for a 27yo to develop blood clots unless you have an underlying predisposition or disease that would cause it. The symptoms u describe would not be a blood clot either as they would worsen and possibly cause worse health issues over that period of time. More likely musculoskeletal like a strain or bruise that hasn't had a chance to heal because of where it is located.

Probably not: The pain of DVT is typically not vague -- it is due to the swelling of the leg, and the inflammation around the vein that has clot in it. That being said, many DVT patients have no pain.

Likely not: Symptoms of leg or groin pain, swelling heat, heaveness, and tenderness all can occur around when a DVT first forms but most likely reduces with in a few weeks.
