Talk to your doctor. I never heard of a DVT in the groin, that must be very scary and painful.

I was going to make a snide remark about the sex.. cos.. I had a terrific workout last night.. but man.. no DVT in the groin was involved. Mine is in my leg.. I was more worried about my heart last night.

be well. ((HUGS))
