Pain in top of thigh/hip area when walking. or twisting leg. been 3 weeks. doctors say possible torn muscle. i'm scared it's a dvt. help?!! difference

Not a DVT.: A DVT, or clot in the deep veins of the leg, cause achiness and leg swelling which is persistent all the time - not just when you're active. Your symptoms sound much more like hamstring tendonitis or a muscle tear. There are a few different tests, from CT to ultrasound to MRI, which can distinguish these and help your doctor create a plan to minimize your pain and speed healing.

Hip pain: I would agree most likely a muscle strain. Also could be partial labrum tear.

Pain: Sounds more muscular or joint related rather than dvt Should get some diagnostic test to evaluate such as Ct scan

Left calf pain and cramping pretty bad. Feels like tight muscles and there is pain with walking. Not excruciating but there is some discomfort putting weight on my leg while walking and standing. Should I be concerned? No injury to the leg. DVT?
Left calf has swelling that goes and comes. Doctors did sonogram and ruled out dvt. Said it can be a muscle spasm. Walk alot, minimal cramping in calf?
