A member asked:
What do you suggest if i am 19 yrs old and last year i had a dvt.will my swelling go away and when will i stop wearing compression socks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly never: If you had a DVT a year ago and continue to have swelling due to damage to the deep vein valves, you may have to wear compression hose for the forseeable future. There currently is no technology or treatment that can restore deep vein valve function, although many teams are working on the problem.
