Has anyone had a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)?

I'm just wondering if any of you ladies have had a deep vein thrombosis? If you did, did you have a pulmonary embolism because of it? I've heard that 50% of DVT's are asymptomatic (meaning they have no symptoms). I have very slight swelling in my left leg. Barely noticeable but it's there. I had Charley horse cramps a couple nights ago. The pain hasn't gone away. I've heard a DVT can feel like a Charley horse sometimes. It feels like there's knots in my muscles. Has anyone had these pains and had it turn out to be a DVT?
