Is this another DVT?

[Chypre]

Two years ago I was diagnosed with a DVT in my right leg.  The doctor put me on Coumadin and told me to wear a compression stocking.  It improved rapidly but still gets a little swollen around the toes sometimes.  Now my left leg and foot has been swelling slightly for the last two weeks.  There is no pain or redness, no feeling of heat.  The swelling comes and goes. I do not have it every day, just on days when I have to do a lot of walking around.   Could this be another DVT or am I overreacting?  This doesn't look or feel at all like the right leg did.  I admit I am constantly worried about getting another.

Hi,

I think you should get it checked out if you're worried it is dvt. We have more chance to have one after the first one. I hope it's not that . Good luck!

Hi,
What other symptoms are present? I understand your concern regarding this especially with your history. Aside from vascular issues, the swelling could also be due to other underlying medical conditions like kidney issues as well as medication side effect. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Diagnostic tests may also be done to rule out DVT. Take care and do keep us posted.
