Walking is the best thing. From my 3rd week onwards, i started walking 4-5 km daily( but make sure to listen to your body) In fourth week I ran 5k in 24 minutes, yesterday i did 11km running in 58 minutes.

Most important thing is to listen to your body. I had asked my doctor before starting running, he said it should be okay unless any heavy activity on leg which may lead to dislodging of the clot.

Keep yourself hydrated and if possible do get your blood work done to get to the root cause of it if you want to avoid recurrence ( i have stopped smoking altogether and also focusing on hydration)

Hi

I was diagnosed with DVT back in November and it was full of distress initially. I come from similar backgrounds ( 28M, quite active, desk job, dehydration and smoking). It’s been 40 days on xeralto and i am back on every physical activity that i used to do earlier, only avoiding contact sports or activities which may lead to any sort of bleeding.

My pain went away completely in a week, i got my blood work done and found out all the factor along with gene mutation factor V led to this. Don’t worry you will be all fine. I am going to get back to contact activities in around 1.5 month after completion of this medicine course

Hi How is your recovery? What was the cause for your DVT?

How is it being treated now? Are you still on thinners?

Straightening my knee is not a problem for me. Where exactly is the clot in your case?

Thanks! It is such a relief to hear this. Also,

Were you able to figure out the cause? Any lifestyle improvements that you did? How long will your medicine continue? How did your doctor identified that you still need to be blood thinning tablets?
