Question 1

is the feeling of a blood clot in the leg a constant pain?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: This, again, is dependent on the location of the clot.  Some people will have a cramping-type pain that worsens when there is pressure placed at the site of the clot.  Some people may have intermittent pain at the site.

Question 2

had deep vein thrombosis and blood clot in leg veins. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Yes - w/o treatment: Dvt can break free from your deep veins, travel through your bloodstream, and lodge in your lungs. This clot can block blood flow in your lungs, which can strain your heart and lungs.  This pulmonary embolism is a medical emergency. Dvt can also lead to chronic vein problems and swelling

treatment with blood thinners is very effective in reducing risk. Compression stocking also recommended.

Question 3

deep vein thrombosis with blood clot in leg vein in pregnancy. how long do i need to take medicine for it?

Accepted Answer

6 months : Dvt in pregnancy is treated with a variation of Heparin called Lovenox which is injected just under the skin twice a day. Coumadin (warfarin) is fatal to the fetus and should never be given during pregnancy. A 3 to 6 month recommendation is given depending on the patient's other ongoing risk factors after delivery.

Question 4

can a normal ultrasound of legs show deep vein thrombosis,blood clot..?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is the usual method that blood clots are demonstrated, whether they be deep thromboses or superficial thromboses.

Question 5

would aspirin help or worsen deep vein thrombosis? worried about possible blood clot from pain in leg and going to dr tomorrow.

Accepted Answer

Help: Aspirin is a form of an anticoagulant that lessens the chance of a blood clot.  However, the most important thing you can do is make sure that you don't have a DVT in your leg.  Will likely need a venous doppler ultrasound.

Question 6

deep vein thrombosis left me with 1 blood clot in  right leg-3 clots in lungs-have been on warfarin 4 years now. is this safe to be on this..

Accepted Answer

Safer Than Not!: A recurrent pulmonary embolus could be fatal so i would suggest that the risk of bleeding associated with the warfarin is much lower than the risks of recurrent clot. Possible alternative would include placement of a filter in your ivc which has its' own possible complications.

Question 7

i took a flight last thursday to johannesburg from durban. since the flight the top of my left leg has been painful and my legs feel very heavy. should i be concerned? is there a risk of blood clots or deep vein thrombosis? i had covid-19 in july

Accepted Answer

Be concerned: Leg swelling or pain after sitting for a long  airplane or car trip is always a cause for concern. I would go to an ER to have yourself evaluated because you may need an ultrasound of your legs and most doctors don't have that available in their office. Good luck.

Question 8

if there's a blood clot in your knee is it constant pain?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: It is very rear to have clot in the knee joint, unless it is big clot would not bother.

Question 9

pain behind the knee. just one knee i dont recall doing anything to sprain a muscle or tear anything. could it be a blood clot? my veins on that side are also sticking out a little more then normal. not constant pain but it hurts if i lean back onit?

Accepted Answer

: You should not concern, just observe the symptom(s) for now. You can apply ice pack locally as needed for pain if there is significant discomfort. See you doctor if symptoms persist or get worse in the next 24 hours. A blood clot, if it is true, below the knee is not life threatening and same is for pain due to Baker cyst.

Question 10

help please. could blood clot present constant pain?

Accepted Answer

It can: It usually causes swelling in the area of the clot as well.  If the clot is deep inside your abdomen you could have pain and sometimes even fever if the clot gets infected.
