A member asked:
Mum's left leg is edematous with pain she has removed a cast since 3 weeks and there is no thrombosis or something what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Removed a cast?: Sounds like we would need more history on this one: why the cast was applied, for how long in the cast, if they did an ultrasound study to rule out the clots...
