A member asked:

I have dvt which is being treated.the pain in my leg has almost gone however as i have become more mobile my leg has become redder. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Post-thrombotic: Sounds like post-thrombotic syndrome, especially if your leg has now become more dependent rather than elevated. Ask your doctor whether it is safe to start compression stockings/socks.
