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 have a history of dvt and pe also have esophageal cancer and blood thinners make the tumors bleed so they put in an ivc filter. For the last week my left lower leg and ankle/foot has been swelling.

How long ago was your last dvt? I still get periodic swellling in my foot and ankle in my dvt leg. I also have mild PTS from my dvt so I get calf heaviness and discomfort. My dvt was in 2007.
