Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Gwynn, I cannot say for sure, although I do believe that a clot can move. What I do know is that when I had DVT, I was misdiagnosed in the emergency room and fortunately my GYN caught is the next day. If your daughter's leg is so soar that she annot walk on it, I would have her at the Dr.'s office this morning and ask them to specifically check for a clot, especially since she did have a recent surgical procedure. I hope she is better soon. Dawn > > An update on my daughter. The swelling has gone down somewhat...but > she still cannot walk on her leg.
