I have a consult coming up with my vascular surgeon and an ultrasound. I’ve been cleared for no DBT but just trying to figure out options about pain. Here’s my history!

March 2024- superficial blood clot in small vein off saphenous vein- right behind knee. Painful but deemed safe and treated with blood thinners- figured it would go away. I was on birth control and long airplane ride when I got it so no mystery there.

One year later pain lingered- I got an ablation of the great saphenous vein- totally deflated the single varicose vein.- wore the compression socks. Lost about 20 lbs. pain went away but came back after periods of intense exercise with no compression socks.

Another year later (present)- I still have pain in the area! Cleared for no Dvt at hospital. So what is it? Is the blood clot lingering and irritating the area/ hitting a nerve? If I wear compression socks it helps. As a 30 year old female- I’m just frustrated.

Thank you times 100 to whoever reads this ❤️ really it means allot

March 2024- superficial blood clot in small vein off saphenous vein- right behind knee. Painful but deemed safe and treated with blood thinners- figured it would go away. Blood clot forms in a verified vein (and I was on birth control and long airplane ride).

One year later pain lingered- I got an ablation of the great saphenous vein- totally deflated the varicose vein.- wore the compression socks. Lost about 20 lbs.

Another year later (present)- I still have pain in the area! Cleared for no Dvt at hospital. So what is it? Is the blood clot lingering and irritating the vein? If I wear compression socks it helps. As a 30 year old female- I’m just frustrated.
