A member asked:
Would the symptoms for dvt and post thrombotic syndrome be the same? or would there be a distinctave difference.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DVT and PPS: The symptoms of DVT and post phlebitic syndrome are very different. Dvt usually presents as leg swelling and frequently thigh or calf pain depending on the location of the clot. Sometimes the leg may be tense and red. This is usually an acute process. PPS is a chronic condition and usually occurs within one to 2 years following a DVT. PPS presents as ankle swelling and brownish discoloration.
