Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You mentioned that blood clot is behind the knee joint?
Very difficult to understand , what do you mean by that.
Behind means outside from knee joint or on the posterior side of knee joint or below the knee joint .
Is this clot outside from the muscles surrounding knee joint.
It may be due to obstruction of blood flow from knee to upward ( varicose veins above knee as I noted in my one patient ).
I this type of situation usually veins are dilated above tumor ( knot).
2nd thing I want to mention rub heparine cream over this clot ( if clot) and this will resolve within few days.
If possible upload a picture of this clot site.
Good luck.
Your drug only act as an anticoagulant .
