A blood clot could be present without your leg/foot looking any different at all. But, what you describe is more likely to be a musculoskeletal issue, like a muscle strain, a bone issue, etc. Blood clots typically form with inactivity and it sounds like you have been active. An ultrasound would diagnoses a blood clot. See your doctor if the pain continues. Good luck!

There are many possibilities for the cause of your pain. Blood clot unlikely. More information and more detailed to help you . Bruising is unlikely from a blood flood. True bruising does indicate tissue damage and bleeding.
