Brief Answer: ,k Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic! Symptoms you have mentioned give some suspicion of DVT, but swelling of leg is usually present in DVT. However, if you are terrified about it, to get clarified, you may undergo doppler ultrasound which can easily detect DVT. Hope I have answered your query.
