calves soft, non-tender

This is the examiner reporting that he/she does not suspect a DVT on clinical assessment. This is the standard phraseology in A&E notes in the UK, at least in my field of experience.

agree SJLD : calves supple or soft, non tender - it's the physical examination, the doc is palpating

Thank you!
agree Michael Barnett : Supple and non tender. This is a physcial exam finding. Pain does not exist in the objective section of the exam, just tenderness.

Painless supple mollets .

Painless supple /flexible or mollets or calves.
Hope it helps.
Peer comment(s):

disagree B D Finch : Painless means not inflicting pain, rather than pain-free, which is not suffering pain. Even though pain is all in one's head - as Bob Dylan noted. Plus "mollets" is French, not English.
