I feel like I have a knot in my thigh, could this be a blood clot?

It started 2 days ago and doesn't bother me unless I am up walking and seems to come and go a bit. I am hoping in a muscle thing but can't really pin it down to anything. I had an open RNY 10 days ago so my only exercise is walking. I haven't been doing lots of it because I get stress fractures in my ankles from walking (2 in the last 4 years--last one took almost a year to heal). I do get up and move around the house, just not long walks outside. It did bother me a little during the night too. Could this be a blood clot? There is no redness or tempure change in that leg. My thighs are too fat to tell if there is any swelling (but I don't think there is).
