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.

DVT or Superficial clot?

Last year I had developed several superficial clots in my left leg.  I went through laser treatments and other treatments.  This morning I wake up and developed leg pains again in that same leg which was treated last year.  I'm hoping it was another superficial clot and not DVT.  I took Advil and put on my compression stocking.  Both seems to help.  If it is a DVT clot does Advil help?  Is DVT pain a constant pain and doesn't go away?  I'm planning on going back to my vein doctor to have them check it out.

Advil may help for a dvt with pain but you really should call your doc and not wait, just in case. My experience with dvt was constant, worsening pain

Has anyone here on this forum had DVT and had no classical symptoms?

Yes in my arm. Felt nothing like the dvt in my leg.

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
