Excellent information! After seeing so many doctors who have told me l had fibromyalgia, I decided to do my own research based on my symptoms. I’ve seen three vascular surgeons already, and the last one just gave me the diagnosis as iliac vein compression based on color flow US and CT scan w/ & w/o contrast images. Going for a venography exam next week, and can’t wait to have the stints placed so I can have my life back! It has been 20 months having every day pain...

What do you do after the blood clot has hardened? In my case from my knee to my waist, failed angio-jet and angioplasty.. new clot inside of stent but on blood thinner.
