Suggest Treatment For Chronic Blood Clot In The Leg

HI! I have a chronic blood clot in my leg from my groin to my ankle. Of course, no idea how long I may have had it. Now, I have had a leg ulcer for almost a year now due to this clot. Of course, I am also under a doctor s care I am having a leg compression wrap put on. It does not seem to be helping. Now, I am having a lot of swelling around my ankle which is causing a lot of burning and pain. Is there anything at all that can be done? I am in so much pain. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You may have deep vein thrombosis or some peripheral vascular disease. You should go for color doppler. You should also go for coagulation study. If you are thrombophilic then you should take blood thinner like warferine according to your doctor's advice. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
