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.

Had a dvt in the right leg and pulmonary embolism due to the dvt.
All that was about two years ago now and i fully recovered with what seems one exception.
If i push the right leg too hard by walking or going to the gym everything from the knee down starts getting very heavy.
If i keep pushing it i have extreme trouble keeping the foot from flopping around and walking involves more swinging the leg froward the walking.
Even iam not stubborn enough to push it beyond that point and if i stop and relax from five minutes or more everything returns to normal.
Had three ultrasounds to check the bloody flow and one nerve test..all of which came back normal.
Doctor does think i have osteochondritis due to the clot but that doesn't explain the extreme issues with the knee and below.
Was wondering if i could have valve damage due to the dvt that's only showing up under heavier loads.
The feeling is exactly the same i get when i get a really good pump from working out at the gym..heavy hard to more tell the pump fades.
One very frustrated person who like to be able to walk more then a couple of blocks without having to stop and let the leg recover.
Any ideas?

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.
Not sure how accurate they are though.
