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 am beginning to wonder if some of the feelings I'm having in my leg are from this. Anyone out there diagnosed with PTS? How does it feel to you, and how is it diagnosed?

I was diagnosed with it about 12-15 months after my DVT due to redness, swelling etc that seemed to reappear well after the clot diagnosis. There is no test for it. It’s diagnosed based on history and general symptoms. Compression stockings can help relieve the symptoms.

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.
