Hi, As long as you're on blood thinners you should be fine, a bit of the clot won't break off and kill you.
Do as you feel if you want to walk, do, if you want to rest, do. I walked loads from the moment I could (ankle to abdomen DVT) I actually found that walking helped my leg. Have you been given stockings to wear?
We're all different so can't really say when the pain will stop but take each day as it comes, it does get easier!
It's all a bit scary isn't it. The fear of it happening again, the shock, the pain, the lack of information when were discharged from hospital.
Just remember while you're on blood thinners you should be fine!
I'm two years out from mine and believe me it does get so much better both physically and mentally, time is an excellent healer.
Take a look at the thrombosis UK website there's loads of information on there.
Good luck.

Hanikat thankyou so much, just the kind of answer l was looking for. It just came out of the blue and next thing lm at home with not much else to do but think. The hospital was great but it's true you don't get much info. I've got a doctor's appointment on the 5th Sept . It was suddenly looking a long way a way🤔

my husband was diagnosed with three, one in his calf, one in his thigh and one in his pelvis following a trip to China. He also had prostate cancer. We were told it could have been the long haul flight or the cancer.
Am terrified he will get a pulmonary embolus. When does his risk of a pe go down? He is on daily dalteparin injections for the next three to 6 months.
Need a lot of reassurance
