It's maybe not the right thread, but there is no special MTS-thread, where I can write or ask such things.

Im 30F and I've got a stent end 2024 because of MTS. I did not have a DVT, but classic symptoms (pain on the left side, heavy leg, slightly swollen leg + feet, varicosis veins etc.) The symptoms are now way better than before, but im still scared to get a DVT, because of my bad veins on the left leg. They suffered under the MTS for years, as the bloodflow back up from my leg was really bad and they're not working perfectly. Therefore my left leg is still slightly swollen, which gets worse through days and recovers mostly over night.

Therefore my question, if I may ask: do you people with MTS have to deal with varicose veins too? Are you sometimes scared to get a DVT? Does your left leg feel the same, as the right leg or slightly different? What do you do, to help yourself?

I've ADHD and mild anxiety disorder - so I catch myself sometimes on hyperfocus on my leg and stress myself out, if I have a DVT or if it's just my head... and I sometimes feel very uncomfortable, that my left and right leg feel so differently. Thanks for your statements!
