A member asked:
I had fasciotomy 7 days ago, now having tight pain behind calve. had dvt:pe years ago when i had this surgery. should i be concerned of clot again?

It is entirely: reasonable to be concerned. There is a very high rate of recurrence in individuals with previous DVT. Don't hesitate. Go and get checked out with an ultrasound. Better safe than suffer a lethal PE.
