Clot in Vein

Clot in Vein
By HERMAN BUNDEsEN, NJ. 7
MILK leg Is the common name
for a disorder that has nothing TO
do with milk. Doetorstall II throm-
bophlebitis, which means the for
nation OF a blood eliot in = vein,
together with some Inflammation.
The symptoms Of thrombophle-
bits vary to a great extent and,
in the mild cases, may be so slight
that the condition is not recog-
nized. The patient may complain,
however, Of a vague aching in the
legs on standing or on prolonged
activity. At times there may be
some slight swelling of the leg.
Raise Legs
There is no fever or increase in
the pulse rate. The patients often
have a desire 10 keep their legs
raised, since they find that doing
% lessons the discomfort Upon
examination il may be found that
there is some tenderness in the
muscles Of the calves.
According TO Doctor D. Rees
Jensen Of New York. there also
may be some tenderness Of the sole
Of the foot. Activity tends TO make
the symptoms worse.
The more severe cases Of throm-
bophlebitis usually develop follow
ing some surgical procedure or
some infection. The condition
starts with mild pains in the
calves, on the sole Of the foot, or in
the middle part Of the thigh. Bend
ing the foot backward frequently
makes the pain in the calf worse.
There is usually some swelling Of
the tissues. together with fever
and rapid heart beat Sometimes
there is q slight chilling.
One Danger
One of the dangers Of thrombo-
phlebitis is that q bit Of the blood
clot may break off, get into the
circulation, and land in the lung.
This is known as q pulmonary en-
bolus. 1t will produce q sudden
pain in the chest with shortness
Of breath and coughing, and there
may also be fever and more rapid
heart beat. An X-ray of the chest
makes It possible to diagnose the
condition.
Doctor Jensen believes that In
the chronic or long-continued cases
Of thrombophlebitis, treatment
with rest, heat and massage is Of
little value. He thinks that iniec-
ton treatment of the large veins
above the area affected by the con-
dition will bring about q rapid
cure. There are many physicians,
however, who may not favor this
form Of treatment. The doctor will
decide in each instance just what
treatment should be employed.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
H. M: Would you advise sui
fathiazole ointment for varicose
ulcers?
Answer: Sufathiazole ointment
may be found helpful in certain
varicose ulcers. A physician, how
ever, would have to determine in
each individual case whether it
would be useful, or whether some
other type of treatment might bs
