Doctor Google: Has its limits, which are far exceeded many times, not its fault, rather it is us and our subconscious which keeps looking for the worst, having said that, it is unlikely a DVT, but you want to go urgent care or your doctor's office, if feasible for assessment, treatment and reassurance, wish you well
