Hit the back of my knee.. Now dealing with DVT fear

Today at the grocery store I was getting my kids out of my husbands truck when the driver door came at me and the very corner of it hit the back of my knee. It hurt a bit and it feels sore and a little bruised. Normally something like this wouldn't bug me but because of the location I can't help but feel scared that it may have damaged something. DVT is another big fear of mine and something I've worried about plenty of times before so I know I'm probably just being parinoed but I have no idea where the deep veins in my knee area are and I'm just so terrified that the door might have hit me in a bad spot.

Anyone here able to tell me I'm being silly, or give me some info on the deeps veins so I know if there's even anything to worry about? Thanks for listening.

I don't think That you will have deep vein thrombosis at all .
Some of the causes are pregnancy , sitting for a long periods of time ( like long airplane flights , long dissonance car drives) I don't think injury is one of them and ive had that fear too but with me I don't sit in one area for too long I try to move around every hour or so
I honestly think you will be ok .

Just wanted to add my thoughts in this....as S.C. mentioned, the typical causes for DVT are what she listed, not getting knocked on the back of the knee. You may have an ouchie there for a bit, and even a little superficial bruise, ..... Deep breaths! :)
