Concern about DVT: Two weeks after arthroscopic surgery with so much swelling one is worried about DVT it seems the infection is under cotrol but swelling is still present. Ofcourse elevation of the leg and staying off of it should help if not you can getdoppler test done which is simple painless test to make the diagnosis. Please call you doctor so he can make the arrangements. Good luck.
