What is a DVT? How do you Diagnose and Treat it? | Expert Explains Everything You Need To Know!

[@AmbroseB1900]

Very clearly and succinctly explained. I was recently found to have 2 DVTs in my left calf, one in the Peroneal, the other in the PTV despite only scoring 1 on the Wells test and 2 on the D-dimer but fortunately the hospital team saw fit to do an ultrasound scan which revealed both. They called mine unprovoked as I don't fall into any of the risk categories. Am now on Apixaban for at least 6 months and am walking for up to an hour a day as well as doing exercises advised by other online physios. Your video has been most helpful in increasing my understanding, thank you.

Hii there, want to ask are there any special questions we need to ask for # cases please? Given that the patient has # yesterday, tysm!

I'm considering a chin surgery,my chin/jaw is damaged and getting worse. I'm wanting augmentation/mandable reconstruction. But I'm scared of DVT what are the odds?

[@BaldGod]

I have swelling above my knee in my thigh. Nothing below my knee and no pain really. I did do leg day at the gym last week and did the stair master yesterday, could i have strained something?

[@superoli5308]

Can a dvt can cause loss of sensation? Some small part of my both calves had loss of sensation for half a year now. No pain, no redness, or swelling.

[@ClinicalPhysio]

If you are concerned I would definitely ensure that you see a Dr or physio about this as there are many things that can cause sensation changes in the legs

[@bengtecktay4905]

Can an ultrasound miss a small clot ?

[@ClinicalPhysio]

I’m wondering if your question is because this happened to you or someone you know? If so I’m sorry to hear it and I hope you are doing ok 🙏🏼

[@bengtecktay4905]

@@ClinicalPhysio It happened to someone I know . Thank goodness the clot in the leg was removed - hence the person is still alive but on anticoagulant at present . But there could be residual clots and non-fatal PEs in the lungs . I am wondering given the higher clot burden - whether or not a helping hand should be given to help remove any other residual clot ( DVT , superficial below the skin and PE ) .

[@bengtecktay4905]

@@ClinicalPhysio I am worried about clots especially given the fact that the person received the BionTech mRNA spike protein vaccine . The spike protein Pfizer vaccine is in the news for funny things - white fibrous clots etc , and frameshift products due to the chemically modified mRNAs in the BionTech vaccine .

[@bengtecktay4905]

@@ClinicalPhysio Hence microclots can be a big problem .
