I'm sure I'm being way too cautious but I'm just back from the doctor because I've had a sore/bruised spot in my calf all evening and I'm worrying about a DVT. The doctor thinks I've just strained a muscle but I can't stop worrying - there are no symptoms besides the tenderness, it's not red or swollen etc. etc. and I'm pretty sure the doctor thought I was a nutcase. Anybody any experience with anything like this?

Why would you jump to a DVT diagnosis over a pulled muscle or ligament stretching? With pregnancy, everything stretches.
Wouldn't most cases include redness, swelling, etc?

You are not crazy for being concerned about that! I was worried about it during my 3 previous pregnancies because I get weird calf pain. Nothing ever came of it, despite even getting an u/s once on my leg. I have heard that it if you get more pain when you flex your foot (and therefore flex the calf muscle) that is a bad sign. I hope yours is nothing!

I went back to the doctor this morning as pain increased. They gave me a D Dimer blood test which came back positive so now I'm on my way to the hospital for a vascular assessment with suspected DVT. Please pray for me and my family if you're that way inclined. I'm so scared.
