Suggest Remedy For Blood Clots
I have very painful blood clots in my legs. I had a knee operation and three weeks later had a pulmonary embolism so am on warfarin. I am told to wear compression stockings and these seem to increase the pain. What is the near / distant future of this agony?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Continue with warfarin.
2. The compression stockings are given to improve your leg circulation. You can remove them at times, when you are actively moving.
3. Need to look into INR for followup carefully. Do not stop warfarin anytime.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
