A member asked:
Why do leg cramps happen in post thrombotic syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lack of flow: If good collaterals have formed, symptoms of leg swelling and pain may not occur or may only be mild. However, in some people collaterals do not get very large and can, therefore, not carry all the blood needed to drain the legs or arms; this then leads to chronic leg or arm swelling, pressure and pain.
