Thigh pain: Your description is nonspecific. Possibilities include simple muscle strain, baker's cyst, contusion or phlebitis. There may be no redness or obvious swelling with any of these, but tenderness is usually present with phlebitis. If discomfort persists visit a hospital emergency room where examination by a physician and appropriate testing like an ultrasound is readily available.

Is it possible to have an undiagnosed dvt behind knee for 8 months with no swelling or reddness? Just twitching and dull achy all over leg pain.
