A member asked:

Im a hypochondriac. when i get up from sitting down, i have a twinge type tenderness on the top of my calf. after i take a few steps/walk it off it goes away. no redness or swelling. terrified of dvt, but just went to the doctor for something else?

It doesn't appear that you have any predisposing conditions making you overly susceptible to DVT. This is a form of health anxiety that you have. I think you'd benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy from a mental health professional. This therapy should be effective in alleviating your health anxiety.
