What Do Suggest For The Pain At The Back Of My Calf With DVT On The Leg?
Hi there,
I started doing some cardio a week ago and developed a discomfort behind my knee. The pain is still here 9 days later and yesterday I massaged the area and now the pain seems to have spread to the back of my calf. I am 36 and have DVT on the leg in question. Should I be concerned?

DVT can cause this type of pain. I hope you are taking medicaton for thinning of blood. If pain persist or increase you may need to repeat your doppler scan and venography.
