I have had My-Thurners for quite a few years. The clot is in my abdomen.. I have extreme discoloration with the skin on my ankles to above my knees. They turn dark gray or black when my Legs are not elevated. I have three large circular wounds on my abdominal skin that can last for a year after treatment and they still return again and again. A lot of pain in my lower back from the clot. I went to a specialist in Boston he was just rude and dismissive to me after waiting 3 months for a appointment. His only comment was “I can put in a stent if you want, but I don’t recommend it”.
