calf pain? DVT anxiety

can anyone relate? I have upper right calf soreness for around 5 days now. I have had sore muscles the past month im relating to my anxiety because it comes and goes but the calf area is new and i recently started working full time on a computer for the past 5 months. I read that it could be DVT and happen at any age especially people who sit at a computer. Its not swollen or red but just sore. Idk what to do. could it be my anxiety making it worse or just being dehydrated!? can anyone relate?

Seems to be more constant. Still feel tightness laying down too. Have had it about 5 days. Also have a twitch or 2 here and there. No redness or swelling. Doesn't even hurt to touch just feels tight. I hate worrying about everything! I see the doc Thursday for a follow up on a uti/kidney infection so I'm going to mention it then if I still have it just hope that's not too long. :( it's more in my upper calf but then sometimes feels like it moves lower or to the right or left but mostly feels like I have a band around my upper calf. Help!

Good Morning, I am sorry to read of your issue. I just had an ultrasound to rule out a DVT due to edema in my left leg. The probability of my having a clot was low to none. However, any good Dr. will tell you that you cannot dx a blood clot or none simply by a physical exam. I had no pain, just the swelling - my report came through this morning. No clot and I feel my Dr. made the right call. Some things you need to have a test to be positive nothing is cooking.

Make an appointment with your Dr. to let him/her examine your leg and make a decision with your input on what to do next.

A visit with your Dr. should help lower your anxiety and worries too.

Kindly,
Kitt

Hi Student,

I am sure that you are going to feel better after your appointment tomorrow, and you will get some reassuring answers.

I have had similar fears about health issues that I have been seen for...and they turned out to be nothing serious to worry about at all!

So I understand and I'm sorry to hear about all the anxiety that this is causing you.:( Let us know how your appointment goes, and how we can be of support to you.:)

Talk to you soon,

S.C.

The good part of a test being normal is knowing that you do not have a blood clot so I hope you get an all clear as I did.

We "worriers" are always happy to put "what if" thinking behind us and not fall into catastrophic feelings.

Let us know as soon as you can what your Dr. has to say.

Hugs,
Kitt

my thing is is im just not sure if its musclular or not. This morning if felt very tight to walk but now its not so bad.

Have you gotten any results on this? I’ve been having similar issues in my right calf. Soreness and twitching but not red, swollen, or hot. I went to the ER they just looked and said it wasn’t a clot and probably Achilles tendinitis. He didn’t do any ultrasound though so I’ve been waiting for my appointment with my primary.

Hey there. For me I keep my anxiety in my jaw and calfs. Clenching my jaw and twitching my leg up and down or flexing on my feet and calves. During high times of anxiety, my calves will get sore and I will get some pain in them. But I agree that it is not asking for too much to ask your doctor to do an ultra sound for peace of mind.
