Post partum DVT

If you had post partum DVT, what did it feel like? I'm two weeks pp and tripped over something when I was out for a walk earlier. I scraped my knee but am otherwise fine. I've noticed over the past couple of hours that my calf on the leg I scraped my knee feels very tense.

I was prescribed blood thinners post birth (finished last week) so I'm slightly nervous about DVT but my leg doesn't hurt, it's just tense if that makes sense.

I haven't been out much post birth but have been mobile around the house. I only started going for the odd walk last week.

I have two other kids at home so don't want to go into hospital over nothing but not sure what to do 😬

Swelling, hotness, redness in one leg.
