question from a user

Are muscle pains (e.g. calf pain) directly related to DVT or are there other possible causes? My bloodwork has been very consistent (never a concern) at 170/wk but this calf (maybe Achilles tendon?) Pain came out of nowhere. Now can barely walk.

We cant safely diagnose you via Reddit, so we would suggest you go to see your local doctor.

Muscle pains can certainly be from overexertion, even TRT can't prevent that. But if the pain is that sudden and severe enough, I would suggest you get it checked out sooner rather than later.
