A member asked:
Could you still have pain from having a dvt years later?

Absolutely: Dvt and the subsequent inflammation and sometimes ischemia in the area can lead to disruption of tissue, vascular flow and nerve damage in some cases. While you should look for other things that may be causing the pain in the extremity, know that could be the cause.

DVT AND PAIN: It would be most unusual to have continued pain years after having a DVT. The symptoms related to DVT depend on the location of the DVT. In general, the larger the vein involved the more the symptoms. The most common symptom lasting after DVT is usually swelling and not pain. If you have pain years after a DVT then you should look for another source of the pain.
