Pay close attention to how your leg/s feel and those toes. In February 2019, I was diagnosed with a 3ft blood clot in my greater saphenous vein of my left leg. It went from my ankle nearly to my groin. I didn't have most of the symptoms of DVT, but my toes felt like they were in cold water all the time. The clot's location close to my groin made it a little more serious. I was put on blood thinners for a bit, prescribed compression socks and ordered to get off the bike while I was on thinners, just to limit complications in case of an accident (Philly is a notoriously dangerous city for cyclists.)
It resolved itself and I've been clear since.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...%20artery%20(2).
