How do you know if you have a blood clot?

I've been out of a RNY 10 days now and am terrified of throwing a clot. I called the doc because I had/have this pain that feels like a mild muscle strain in my calf but it comes and goes and isn't hot to the touch, nor it is very bad pain and it definately goes away with tylenol. She had me stretch my toes towards my knees and it didn't hurt so she wasn't worried. Could I have one and not know it or am I just freaking out? I live alone and my mind gets awfully scared at night.
