Brief Answer: Please follow the instruction below... Detailed Answer: Hi again! Now that you clarify without any doubt the nature of the pain the precise localisation, yes one of the possible diagnosis is Deep vein thrombosis. I recommend also a Doppler ultrasound (ECHO) of the legs to exclude any Deep Vein thrombosis. Hope you are finally satisfied with my answer!
