A clot blocks blood circulation through these veins, which carry blood from the lower body back to the heart. The blockage can cause acute pain, swelling, or warmth in the affected leg. Blood clots in the veins can cause inflammation (irritation) called thrombophlebitis. Severe complications of deep vein thrombosis occur when a clot breaks loose (or embolizes) and travels through the bloodstream, causing blockage of blood vessels (pulmonary arteries) in the lung.
The most common place for a blood clot to occur is in your lower leg, says Akram Alashari, M.D., a trauma surgeon and critical care physician at Grand Strand Regional Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. A blood clot in your leg can have various symptoms, including: 1  swelling. 2  pain. 3  tenderness. 4  a warm sensation. 5  pain in your calf when you stretch your toes upward.
