A member asked:
For what length of time can you have a blood clot and still be safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not wise to wait: If you have a clot it should be taken care of as soon as possible. Depending on where it is it can travel to the lungs or brain or other vital organs and cause significant problems-potentially even death. This will all depend on where the clot is.
