Brief Answer:
Not thrombus formation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. It does not appear to be a thrombus formation.
2. Rush of warmth could be due increased muscle activity.
3. Thrombus formation would present more with pain and dislodgement and thrombosis moving on into lungs would have occurred by now and you would have breathlessness.
4. Too late for thrombus formation as it would have lysed by now.
Not to worry.
Maintain adequate hydration along with muscle stretching.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
