Not every person has all of the signs and symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT when it occurs, but can have any combination of:

  • pain or ache in the calf
  • redness or purplish color of the lower leg, below the knee
  • swelling, often from the knee to the ankle and foot
  • a calf that is hot to the touch compared to the other calf

ANY symptom of redness with heat and swelling of the leg should be cause for concern. The person should NOT wait for an office appointment but instead should visit the closest emergency room.
