Yep, I should add in that flights are a very common catalyst for DVTs. So common that they often call it "economy class syndrome" (http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=15...) - my clot was possibly catalyzed by a flight but that is not yet conclusive. Needless to say, try to move around as much as possible on a flight (even it means wiggling your toes or legs), and stay healthy (you are much more likely to get a DVT from a flight if you are already unhealthy).
If there's a possibility that this came from a flight then you may want to add that to the story. When was the last flight you took prior to the 2 weeks of the pain starting?
Will do - there was about a one week gap between the flight and the first symptoms. So, I'd say the flight likely accelerated something, if it wasn't the direct cause. However, I also think that my sitting for very long periods of time was also a contributing factor regardless (I should add in that the chair I have been using recently is a little long in the base and sometimes cuts off my circulation slightly)
