Dull Ache In Calf, Heaviness And Tingling, Injured Knee. Can There Be A Posibility Of Blood Clot?

Thanks for posting your query.
A dull ache in the calf with a feeling of heaviness and tingling without any visible swelling is not likely to be related to a blood clot.
The various possibilities are-
1. Calf muscle strain and tear - Usually due to overwork and overstretching of the muscles. Recent increase in leg exercises may cause these. Gradual increase in exercise and pain killers with mild symptoms.
2. Prolonged intake of hormonal therapy like oral pills or HRT might cause this.
3. Muscle ischaemia- associated with diabetes usually. There is acute pain associated with it.
4. XXXXXXX vein thrombosis- comes last among the list of probable diagnosis.
You may get the initial physical examination, relevant tests and treatment done under care of 'Orthopaedician'.
