Hi, my mom has problem with her veins for a long time. She used to wear elastic supportive socks but problem persisted. Last week she woke up with strong pain in her left leg and leg was cold too. We transferred her to hospital where doctor told us it was last moment that we brought her. He also told us that she had deep vein thrombosis.
Hi, my mother also had deep vein thrombosis. It is very dangerous because thrombus from lower parts of body may end up in big veins of lungs and cause pulmonary infarct. If this happen the chances are bad for patient to survive if he is not hospitalized. Doctors usually prescribe anticoagulant therapy.
