If i developed a blood clot after knee surgery am i now at risk for future problems?

Yes: You can have post blood clot leg swelling that can become chronic. It is recommended that you wear compression stocking to help direct the flow to the deep venous system. You theoretically are at higher risk for subsequent clots in the future with leg surgery.
