What do you suggest if my oldest son has factor v leiden,he has a blood clot in his leg an the doctors are talking about doing surger?

What surgery ?: Surgery is not a very common solution to a blood clot in the leg. What exactly are they proposing to do and what are your concerns about that? Usually blood thinners are the answer, but occasionally there could be a recommendation for an IVC filter to prevent the clot from going to the lungs. Please ask what and re-submit question with more details...

For many months now, I've had a non-stop tenderness with mild-to-moderate pain across my left ankle. There was no known injury or cause. It has worsened and is slightly swollen. It hurts to the touch, even during sleep, and also any time I flex it. My parents think it might be tendon-related. I'm wondering what sort of healthcare provider should I seek out to have this looked at?
