Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group

Hi, I posted earlier about having 2 blood clots in my left calf (both in the Posterior Tibials) the length of my entire calf due to Scleratherapy complication. I am a little over 2 months out and I have been on Xeralto for a little over a month. Has anyone else had issue with the effected leg getting tight and then subsiding a little once the ankle pops? I have noticed it is doing that a lot. I...

Hi everybody, it has been very helpful to know about this site and read lots of your posts. My name is Fernando and I feel a bit depressed and with a lot of anxiety about what to expect in the future. I was diagnosed DVT 6 weeks ago after 5 weeks with strong pain in my calf and behind my right knee. I am 37, have no overweight and do lot of exercise and sports. I don´t smoke and eat...

Hello everyone! I'm 33 years old, mom of 3. I have been having reoccurring superficial clots in my calf for the past year. A week ago I was diagnosed with multiple DVTs in my left calf and knee, one of them extends above my knee. This time it started as a constant charlie horse in my calf, which graduated up to my knee. I'm on apixaban (4th time). I will be having the blood tests done, for the...

I'm back with a question after no issues for a few years. History: I had a DVT in my R leg, ankle to pelvis, after brain surgery in 2009. I was on coumadin for a few months and now use a support stocking every day.last week I fell on a rocky beach and really banged my R knee - lots of bruising and pain. Now my calf feels painful, although no redness, heat or swelling. I've had two false alarms...

I have 2 deep veins in my left calf with clot in them from Scleratherapy. Basically the clots are the length of my entire calf. Although I am now being treated with Xarelto. Because of my first doc, I didn't start it until 6 weeks after the clot was formed. The doc who did this seemed to think at 6 weeks old they are already chronic clots. hat do you think? I am hoping there is still a chance it...

I'm out. The change to this site is not user friendly at all, not easy to navigate and the regulars have already left. I have patience so I waited it out a bit longer than most. It doesn't seem the people in charge care much about the complaints at all. I have complained thru the dailystrength facebook page and even though they answer back nothing has changed. I know several others have done this...

It seems kind of quiet around here since the new site emerged. I've got two years in now (July) since my second clotting event- 2 DVT's left leg after long car trip. I'm not sure if I'm better or I'm just getting used to it. It definitely does take a mental adjustment to it all. I will forever be grateful for being able to read others experiences on this site. When I had the PE 23 years ago,...

I posted earlier with supplement questions. Well, I just saw another Vascular surgeon on Friday and she insisted I go on Xeralto. Turns out that the doctor that did my Scleratherapy and caused this mess (multiple DVT's in calf not one) wasn't be completely upfront about everything. Anyway, so I have on been on Xeralto for 2 and a half days and she also has me taking a baby aspirin with it...

Hi everyone,I was diagnosed with a DVT in my right calf two days ago and have been having a very hard time with it. The doctors said it's very small and in a place that is not likely to dislodge but aren't really sure what could've caused it. I'm a 27 year old female, non smoker, very active (6-7 days a week). I have been on the same birth control for 5 years so it seems very strange that I would...

Was diagnosed about a month ago with a 2nd DVT in my axillary vein (right upper arm), just a year after being diagnosed with my 1st DVT.I haven't been on the site in a few months and see it's changed! I would've updated my old thread but I'm not sure if I'll find it...For a quick rundown, I'm a 27 year old woman. My clots come from a genetic disorder called hyperhomocysteinemia. My 1st DVT was...

Hi, I am relatively new to this forum. I am only a month into my DVT in my left calf that was caused by the medical procedure Scleratherapy. I have started to notice slight pressure/swelling in my ankle and it seems like the pain has gotten worse at times not better. Especially, at the end of the day when I am in bed elevating my leg. Also, my veins are deep purple when I let the blood flow back...

Also, does anyone take of have experience with Horse Chestnut? I think that is what it's called.

Hey folks I just wanted to reach out and find out what some of the sports you play or participate in on blood thinners? I am a 33 year old male that has been on Xarelto for the past two years due to a chronic DVT behind my right knee. So far it has not slowed me down too much and I continue to participate in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It was a little hard to adjust to the idea of no more football,...

I have a DVT in my left calf about half the length of my calf. It was caused by a medical procedure called Scleratherapy. I have only had it a month and I am wondering if anyone else out there has had a calf DVT. Mine is considered a chronic clot because it didn't dissolve. If anyone can share their experience. How the Dr treated your clot, what kind of damage/veins it caused? I have pain...
