[|Human|] I ve had a blood clot I my leg since September. I ve been on two different types of blood thinners plus needles twice a day. My numbers are still low and my foot on the left side where the clot is, is starting to go numb and hurt. My entire leg was in pain last week. What s going on
[|AI|]  As per your history, it seems you had a deep venous thrombosis, and presently you are on blood thinners. In a lot of patients, at times pain, numbness and heaviness, skin darkening develops later after the formation of clot. The clinical entity is called as Post thrombotic syn Chat Doctor.  The severity can be judged by a simple scoring system called as Villalba score(can be accessed online). I would suggest you calculate your score and if it is high, consult your vascular specialist or a hematologist. By the time, you can use some conservative therapies as below1. Use skin emollients and moisturisers2. Start graded physical activity 3. Compression stockings 4. Ice packs Thanks
