A member asked:
I have a blood clot in my left thigh from a long airplane flight and was prescribed 4 mg. of warfarin today. can i start walking 4 miles a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soon: After the symptoms and swelling have subsided, studies have shown that walking is a good thing and does not increase the risk of the clot traveling to your lung. It also seemed to help patients recover sooner. I would not start at four miles a day, but gradually work up to that level.
