A member asked:

How long does it take for a dvt to clear up if i've been on xarelto for 4 months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dvt: Anticoagulation therapy does not resolve or clear up the dvt,it is the body that will resolve it,and time. The management and time of treatment is dependent on the location of the dvt

I just started Xarelto for possible dvt yesterday - they're waiting for d dimer results to determine if this is longer term thing. I bonked my forehead this afternoon and am panicked about a bleed. No bruise, no bump, no headache - feel fine. ?

I recently had an unprovoked DVT in my left arm, started on Xarelto 1 week ago. How safe is it now to play golf? Can it increase likelihood of clot moving to lung? Better wait longer for Xarelto to be in my system or is activity not a risk?

No DVT found on U/S - Dr advised stopping Xarelto 30mg which I'd been taking until results came in. Scared to stop now, because of things I've heard. Is it safe? Should I worry? Little bit anxious here.
