A member asked:
When does swelling from dvt go away? i'm on coumadin (warfarin) and lovenox.

The fact: That you are on both drugs suggests this is a new diagnosis. The swelling improves in weeks. In severe DVT the valves in the veins can be permanently damaged and this leads to some degree of swelling which is permanent.

Dvt: Will solidify and become chronic in about 4-6 weeks. Will usually go away 4-6 months. But can have chronic vein scarring it valve dysfunction after.

Dvt: The swelling will resolve over time as the body adapts Anticoagulation therapy of any type does not dissolve clots
