[|Human|] I am a 66 year old male who is in relatively good health. following kidney stone surgery to break them up and a subsequent stent for 1 month, I have developed knots in the back of both calves, both ham strings, and both deltoids. The pain has become quite debilitating and is made worse by sitting, especially in the car. The best way to describe the pain is like a lactic acid build up after strenuous exercise. I do have a factor five blood clotting disorder that I have never had any effects from previously. Would appreciate any help as I am grasping at straws!
[|AI|]  Hi.thanks for the opportunity to help you. From your description it looks to me like thrombophlebitis of the veins in the calf, hamstrings and buttocks. This has happened as a result of prolonged immobilization due to kidney stone surgery and stent insertion for 1 month and as you have factored 5 deficiency you have tendency for hypercoagulability leading to clotting of blood. Thus stasis due to prolonged bed rest, old age and factor 5 deficiency leading to hypercoagulability and clot formation can lead to thrombophlebitis. However we should rule out DVT which is a life-threatening condition in which there is formation of thrombus in deep veins.this thrombus can dislodge and block pulmonary vessels leading to pulmonary embolism and death. Though from your description it doesn't look like DVT.kindly visit a surgeon and get a venous Doppler of lower limbs and get a coagulation profile, genogram, Radioactive,I125 fibrinogen study done. If it shows thrombophlebitis, oral antibiotics, thrombophobe ointment for l/a and t.choral forte 1-1-1x5 days can be taken .if however DVT is diagnosed by Doppler of venous systems in. Low molecular weight heparin followed by warfarin as per surgeons advise. If surgery is required. These methods to be considered in case of fixed thrombus.in case of free thrombus fibrinolysins, thrombectomy using forty catheter or IOC filter can be used. Surgical options are:-1)Palma operation for tibiofemoral thrombosis2) May hung operation for popliteal thrombosis.t.saffron 500 mg 1-0-1x3 months to reduce viscosity of blood and congestion of veins can be use prophylactically in cases of both thrombophlebitis or DVT.hope the consultation was beneficial regards
