[QUOTE="briped, post: 1785039, member: 472718"] Oh, I'm not worried about that. Tried a DVT twice before, and know what that feels like. 2nd time I went straight to my GP, who referred me to A&E, but there's not much they can do as I'm already being treated with Zarelto. First time was a different case altogether. I didn't know what it was, but it felt just like a sore muscle, so I just massaged it. I ended up in hospital with lung embolisms. Not good fun. My calf muscle is not sore, but my right leg and foot is fatter than my left, so I suspect that it might be damage from the DVT, that my vein can't really pump my blood back up towards my heart. I was warned that this might happen even after a couple of years, but oh no. This couldn't happen to me, right? Dr. Google says there's no treatment other than compression socks, but I'm looking into specifik exercises that'll help my circulation, hoping that someone in here might have tried something similar. Compression socks would really turn my life very sour. Thanks for caring :) That's so sweet of you. [/QUOTE]
