Calf pain: Blood clots are generally not in both legs simultaneously, especially without symptoms such as described. Pain in lower legs is probably muscular only, and may be due to sudden resumed activity after childbirth. See your healthcare provider if this persists.

Calf pain for a couple of weeks now. Seems to come and go. (No swelling/red) Went to ER for ultrasound and it came back clear. Followed up with GP and still having pain. Seems to be a tenderness in one spot on back of leg. Did ultrasound miss DVT?

Warm sensation & pain down leg from butt to foot (calf worst). Jogged last 2 days in a row, no swelling, warmth to touch, or redness. Dvt or just sore?

My doc did a physical exam of my leg for DVT said there isn't no swelling or redness. Should I still be worried? My leg still aches.
