A member asked:

Could you have a blood clot for 3 years before it did something damaging?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: A blood clot in a blood vessel would not stay a clot for three years. It would either grow and become embolus, get dissolved or get organized in a matter of weeks. So the question is probably not framed appropriately.
