What Is Deep Vein Thrombosis?
4. Symptoms
As mentioned, many people with deep vein thrombosis will experience no symptoms. When symptoms do show, however, they will typically include pain in the leg. The pain will tend to begin in the calf, and it is sometimes described as being sore, or that it feels like a cramp.
The condition will also sometimes cause the affected leg to become swollen. In a small number of cases, both legs can become swollen. The skin on the affected leg can also become discolored and red, and the affected leg can also feel warm to the touch. These symptoms should encourage you to see your doctor if you have not done so already.
