A member asked:
I had a pain on my calf and behind the knee for 4 days and now is going away slowly should i still be worried about the possibility of dvt?

Do you have risk factors for DVT? Did you have a period of immobility, for example, like a long car or plane ride? If you are concerned about a DVT, have your doctor order an ultrasound of your leg to rule it out. You can have a DVT without any symptoms so an ultrasound is the only way to rule it out for sure. Good luck!
