I am diabetic.  Fell badly about month ago into front of leg.  Been dianosed with blood clot top shin area.  Told not prone to move toward lungs due to positioning.  Over weekend in sun.  Exposed an hour.  Clot area very red, swollen, extremely tight.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Prolonged rest increases risk of thrombus formation in deep veins. It is called as deep vein thrombosis.2. Avoid extreme movements of leg so that thrombus is not dislodged. Color Doppler of vein will confirm presence of thrombus.3. Thrombosis can be done through catheter directed thrombosis. Otherwise, ultrasound accelerated thrombosis can also be tried. Avoid prolonged rest. Take regular medications along with balanced diet to control diabetes. Not to worry. It will heal soon. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
