If you suspect a DVT , Have it checked out right away. If it is left untreated the clot can travel to your brain, lungs or heart. It's easy to treat with anti-coagulants while it's still in the leg, so don't worry but have it checked right away, if it's not a DVT at least you'll have peace of mind.
