Whats your view on removal of a IVC filter from a 27 year old male in great health but suffers from ankle swelling because of the IVC filter. Was in a traumatic accident 6 years ago and because of my families history they were scared of blood clots. 6 years later my only symptom is ankle swelling whenever I m standing for more than 6 hours. It goes away when laying down after about 45 minutes.
Dear Sir/Madam, I thank you for having faith in Chat Doctor and for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, you don't need to worry, wear pressure stockings on the foot and ankle when moving, remove them at rest. Continue with therapy and this will settle with time hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact. Special note-Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only. Thanks
