A member asked:
Is numbness in foot normal after dvt surgery?

What kind?: We don't do too many DVT surgeries anymore--if what you had was a thrombolysis or a thrombectomy, occasionally patients do have some numbness, but it should resolve very quickly. Any persistent symptoms should be evaluated by your doctor.

What surgery: If incisions or vein removal is along the inner lower leg, the greater saphenous runs with a cutaneous sensory nerve and can be associated with numbness along the course.
