A member asked:
Calf and hip sore after 10hr flight, better after night rest but still mildly sore, no tenderness/heat/swelling, is dvt likely? dr saw no need for us

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.

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?
