Worried about DVT.

I've got a pain in my calf, it's been there for maybe 10 days or so. It feels like cramp, but very small cramp just in one spot, if that makes sense. My leg is not swollen, or red and it doesn't really hurt when I walk. I have had this pain before and it eventually went away on it's own. The reason I am worried about it this time is that I've had 3 surgeries in the last 8 weeks, ( 2 laproscopic abdominal surgeries and a gynae op under spinal) and a late miscarriage. I am also being investigated for Antiphospholipid syndrome which is a clotting disorder due to recurrent pregnancy loss/abruptions. I am 32 and a bit fat but general healthy and am pretty mobile now.

The pain isn't severe, it's just a niggle but I suffered with Health Anxiety as a part of PTSD after the birth of my son 3 years ago. I find it very difficult to keep things in prospective and anything health related sends me in to panic.

What should I do?

Thats so tough :( I bet doolaly is an understatement :( I is a kindness that I know why my late loss happened but we did everthing right this time and both thought it would be ok. It's difficult to deal with when you feel like you've been cheated, isn't it?
