What to do if i have leg pain and possible leiden v factor, should i go to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Please get a venous ultrasound to rule out a deep vein thrombosis. Have a work up by a phlebologist ... Vein specialist in your area. www.phlebology.org. Wear medical compression socks or stockings for prolonged sitting and standing, long airline and car trips. Many patients with leiden v use Lovenox (enoxaparin) for vein treatments, other surgical treatments, long haul plane trips in addition to compression.
