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.
my childrens father aged 33 went to his G.P with a swolen leg, his doc said it was water retention and sent him home. on july 5th 2005 he called his mother saying he couldnt breathe, she called an ambulance, drove to his flat and let herself in. He had already died. postmortem revealed 3 blood clots one of which had travelled to his lung causing a pulmonary emolism. I just want to warn pll out there if u have any doubt in yr diagnosis please get a second opinion it may just save your life!
