Had an ultrasound the following morning and confirmed my fears, it's a clot. Reason why my doc assumes it's Covid-related is because I'm nowhere near overweight, I remained active throughout my quarantine period (daily walks of at least 45 min, an hour on the trainer 5-6 times a week), and I eat a healthy diet, plus I'm 34 so I'm in a very low risk category for DVT in normal circumstances.

Anyway, it'll keep me very limited on activity for a few months but hopefully no worse than that as I caught it early. Take care of yourselves, mask up in public settings, and please take this virus seriously.
Soo sorry to hear this Dan, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Please keep us updated.
