More info!: To develop Blood Clots a patient either has to have had a severe traumatic injury or other risk factors,like obesity,smoking ,estrogen or blood protein deficiencies!, daily exercise ,weight loss! Quitting cigarettes, and been active are all protective! Any family or genetic deficiencies need to be factored in!, sciatica causes mechanical back pain,not associated w clots! Best
