Hello, I'm currently really anxious about the possibility of having DVT. Over the last two or three days I noticed that if I put pressure on my right calf or squeezed it hurt. So, despite knowing better, I googled my symptoms and DVT came up since squeezing/touching producing pain seemed to be a sign. I kept squeezing the calf to see if it hurt and it did and even kept hurting after but now went away. I tried checking my other leg but it didn't hurt until much later after I stopped. The calf isn't red or super warm to the touch but I'm worried it could be something serious. I also noticed my right calf sticks out more than the left but I don't if it's always been like that or if its swollen. I have gone to a doctor over this anxiety before and they said its unusual at my age and weight (90 lbs) but I have read horror stories of young 20's getting these things.
It doesn't hurt when I walk around but I did read you aren't supposed to press your foot back or something since it could make things worse and that worried me more since I did so that.
I don't exercise much but I'm not bedridden either or have gone on super long flights. So I'm unsure if I should just keep an eye on it....
