It's amazing but when they did the tests for my DVT, they could tell it was a second one I had and that meant i had to be on coumidin for the rest of my life. If it's your first clot, then you only have to be on anticoagulants for 6 months or so. The clot traveled down the outside of my left leg and across the ankle and started moving up on the inside of left leg and got stuck at behind the knee. Thankfully thats as far as it went before they found it. It felt like someone had whacked me with a 2 x 4 and had a fist size red spot that moved with the clot. The real "pain" of the DVT is the constant testing every 2-3 weeks of blood levels. So when I started passing alot of blood last June I was scared to death that I was gonna die from blood loss. Thankfully I didn't even need a transfusion and am still here today. Good thing they caught it for you Dan, it can be a nasty thing.
