Whats the chances of dvt?

Hi everyone,
I have been having this recurring fear that I have dvt, i have had a ultrasound and it was all clear, the pain was in my calf and once the ultrasound was clear I stopped worrying about it, I started again a few days ago with some calf pain, I think from working out and now I have started having "warmth" in my foot and thigh, I don't think it actually is warm to touch, I am just feeling the warmth. Even though I don't have any risk factors for dvt I am still so worried that I might have it. Is it possible that I could have had a clot and it went away prior to the ultrasound and is now back again?

Clots don't go away that fast! Is your leg swollen?  If you don't have the risk factors and you don't sit around more than 2 hours without getting up and stretching and walking then don't make yourself crazy!
As for what rpooo said about stretching before you exercise No! It is best to  warm up first and stretch after you exercise.

No, the ultrasound is clear so no worries okay. Be sure and stretch before you exercise.
