What Happens After You Have a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)?

When you hear the term "blood clot", most people have serious initial concerns. And for good reason. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or blood clots, often develop in the legs and should be addressed with a sense of seriousness and urgency.

Thank you. I have a DVT at the moment it is very painful and I’m on Fragmin injections. One thing I’ve noticed is that I’m very tired and need to rest a lot. Is this usual?

What is the treatment if veins valves are damaged post DVT?

What gets me is that my Doctor says, after 3 months of blood thinners, that’s it.
What if it doesn’t dissolve and over time, breaks away?
Shouldn’t it be monitored or at least rescanned after the thinners?
I have a hard time ignoring something that can kill you.🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What does it mean if there is a reswelling of the leg after one has discoverd DVT and is already 1 month into blood thinners?

My Dr just told me that I have venous insufficiency and she wants to do surgery on both legs by introducing clots in my deep veins so that the blood will be directed to healthier veins. I am a little afraid of a pulmonary embolism from this surgery and, well, can this surgery contribute to me dying from one of those clots? I am just trying to get as much information as I can before we schedule this surgery. Thank you for your helpful information.
