Because of this video I finally went to the ER to get my calf pain I had been havingchecked out, it was getting to where I could hardly walk. Did the Homan’s sign test and it hurt like heck so went straight to the ER. Turned out it is a femoral and popliteal vein DVT, and quite large. Just got of the hospital today after a two night stay. They sent me home with blood thinner Rx. This video might have saved my life, though not totally in the clear until the clot is resolved. It’s scary. Please pray for me.

Wow. This video saved my life. I am a 30 year old healthy active male and started having calf pain. Brushed it off for a few days, watched this video and decided to get it checked in the er. Straight up dvt. On blood thinners now. Oh my God, thank you for this video!

You just saved my life. I have had calf pain for two weeks and did the test this morning. I went to my primary physician and asked if they could do an ultrasound. Just got the ultrasound done and it’s a blood cloth. If left unchecked could have become worst. Thank you so much!

This video actually saved me..
I had a leg pain for couple of days which got worse followed by fever
my calf slowly turned red and then brownish
i thought its a muscle strain or streched muscle and didnt cared too much
but after watching this video i rushed to my cardiologist who confirmed after ultrasound that its DVT
i was hospitalized for 7 days and had to take 14 injections of cleaxane

Thanks guys. I had a recent knee replacement operation. I had really bad stiffness and swelling in my calf muscle after being discharged from hospital. Was searching YouTube for massage exercises, came across this and went to see my doctor and an ultra sound confirmed I had a blood clot. If it wasn't for this video I may never have known. Thank you !

Wish I saw this 30 years ago. Never knew about this till I almost died. Lucky for me I got to the hospital ER, the doctor there knew right away what the trouble was. A week later I was let go from the hospital with a list of things I needed to change in my life. This coming year I will be 73 and still going strong. To bad this is not told to the public more often. Thank you both for this video.

I was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, only after I insisted to have my calve pain checked by a specialist, since my own GP said it was just muscle pain. No discoloration, not swollen, no fever, only a horrible pain. In the end the blood clot ended up in my left lung causing a infarct. These men make it seem it's simple to recognize DVT, deep venous thrombosis. Apparently it can be quite tricky.

God bless this Dr for sharing this world need Drs like this

[markkindell]

I went to doctors after watching this, and had blood clots in my calf, great information 👍

[PracticalPip]

Thank you for this life saving video. My Mom would be alive today if only the Doctors and Nurses in the hospital she went to back in 2004 actually understood the classic symptoms of blood clots. They had a day and a half of her complaining of the pain and symptoms to give her blood thinners, which they failed to give and it traveled to her lungs in the hospital and she died. I shared this on Facebook and hopefully it helps someone whoever needs this. Thank you!

Had back surgery last May and was in hospital for a week. They did all those tests and I felt no pain at all. A few hours after I got home I was in an ambulance off to the ER. Diagnosis: DVTs in right calf and left thigh with extensive pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. I'm lucky to be alive. Next time I not leaving hospital unless they give me an ultrasound first.

Thank you for the demonstration. I am an immobile man relegated to spending most of my time in a recliner at home because of FND. Your demonstration and the list of symptoms will help my wife and me determine whether I have a DVT. We have recently been more concerned about this issue as it has become more difficult for me to move.
Please keep doing your videos, as your work with them has helped innumerable people determine just how severe their personal medical issues are. Again, thank you.

Oh my gosh, I just can't get over how many people here were prompted to go see their doctor (THANKFULLY!) on the strength of this video! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
