A member asked:
In general, is it kind of true that a blood clot below the knee may be a superficial type, as opposed, to above the knee that may have clot travel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Misinformation: Any blood clot in a leg that's not obviously in a near-surface vein presents a real risk.
