Recommend ultrasound: The hip soreness would not be due to a DVT but the calf soreness could be a DVT. Flights > 6 hours and pregnancy are both risk factors for DVT. Lack of tenderness and swelling doesn't rule out a DVT. I would suggest an ultra sound including the calf veins if possible.

So I hurt my knee about 3 months ago and it still hurts me and I'm having a little swelling in my ankle and foot and tender calf when flexed. Is this just from my knee injury or possibly DVT?

Do soreness/pain from DVT resolve on its own? If soreness from calf resolves/decreases after rest is it more likely to have been a muscle cramp?
