A member asked:
Dvt risk? got kneed hard in the quad 2 days ago. injured leg is barely functional. there is zero discoloration however, making me think it's deep.

Not likely: Even with deep vein involvement, I expect some skin color changes indicationg hemodynamic disturbance in the venous/ circulatory system, when an injury is signifcant enough to render the leg "barely functional" three days post injury. With or without preceeding being "kneed", suspected DVT with "ZERO discoloration" does not make sense to me, providing PMH is neg for risks of hypercoagulation.

Dvt: I hear your concern,and would recommend a venous Doppler sonogram which will solve that question
