I have a clot in my pro funda vein in my right leg. This is being treated with warfarin. I am done with Lovanox series. I have some old tramadol pills (50mg). Can I use these to help with the pain whicChatDoctores and goes depending on the position my leg is in?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised. As you have a clot in the vein and is not movable and restricted to one location which gives pain in particular positioning of the leg, I will advise further to do exercises for which the muscles become stronger to allow some more intravenous and intro muscular pressure to allow the internal pressure to be created as to allow the effect of medication to be optimum. As medicines are symptomatic, and the effect lasts depending upon the pharmacokinetics of the Chat Doctor.  Also, inducing exercises along with medication provides an add-on effect to the metabolism and allows the release of the clot from its location.in my clinical practice I advise patients with DVT, varicose veins, vascular insufficiency etc. to undergo physical therapy as it helps to allow the physiological system to boost up.regards Jay In
