A member asked:
Does dvt typically cause symptoms or not unless it turns into a pe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DVT: Deep vein thrombosis often causes symptoms but at times does not. Commonly they are in the calf muscle which can cause swelling and pain there. It depends on the location. In the brain, it can cause headaches, in the shoulder region, it can cause swelling of the arm. Around the kidney, it can cause bloody urine or flank pain.
