I had my inner meniscus removed, my completely torn outer meniscus repaired, my torn ACL repaired, scar tissue removed, and all ligaments tightened in my left knee through arthroscopic surgery the end of April. Two weeks ago I was in the hospital for a DVT in my left calf. I was put on lovenox twice daily and coumadin. I just stopped my lovenox injections. About 2 days ago my left knee has been hurting really bad but it s been a pain I ve never felt before not even since surgery. But I soon quickly realized this is the same pain and symptoms I had when the clot was found in my calf. The pain has gotten worse and so have the symptoms. I have to ice my knee in the morning as soon as I wake up before I can even get out of bed or put my brace on. What are the symptoms of a blood clot in the knee and is it possible that it moved to my knee/post of it broke off and went there?
Dear Patient, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, and I feel, you should consult and get color Doppler of the lower limb both arterial and venous, to see if your vascular system is properly working hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks
