Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.
I know this is a stupid question given your distance from me and my leg, but here it is:
when I removed my support stocking last night there was a visible indentation when the top band had been. This is new because I've worn the support stocking every day. That leg may feel a tiny bit warm, or I could be imagining it.
Should I worry about the DVT returning? My INR for the last few weeks has been high, so doesn't that make the DVT less likely?
Now - close your eyes, read your mind and tell me what you think!

forget about wondering, have it checked out, I would rather know then wonder, go to the ER, as soon as you get in the triage, say that you have a history of DVT and you think you are having another one, don't mess around with guessing, I hate to scare you but it can be fatal if you wait too long.
