My son it s 33 years old and had a DVT twice in his Rt. leg by the calf, this episodes happened after a long trip, he was given coumadin the first time and then Xrelto, after the second time that it happened his hematology told him that he needs to be on this medication for the rest of his life, we are very worry, he it s very healthy eats wright and very active, do you have any Dr. in LA that you can recommend him. Thank you MV
Hi, As you mentioned your son is having DVT, then there should be some metabolic dysfunction occurring. IF he can perform regular exercises for the lower limb strengthening and cardiorespiratory endurance training it will surely make out of the medication. Also, if he is a smoker then he needs to quiet smoking as it will help to keep the blood thinner and the exercises will help to improve the cellular metabolism to avoid the DVT formation. With the grace of God I wish your son a good health
