Any connection between pressure in pelvis and dvt in left leg??

I was diagnosed with Dvt behind my left knee in October. Was put on Xarelto for 3 months, the day after I finished this course I was sent back into A & E, where I was diagnosed with Dvt again. I was told to stay on the Xarelto until my check up in 3 weeks. When my check up came, they admitted me into hospital and took me off Xarelto and put me on Innohep injections for another 3 months. I felt these were working great but in last week I can feel a twinge behind my knee again. Luckily I've only 2 weeks to go until I see a specialist. Every morning when I wake up and try to move it feels like there's someone sitting on my pelvis and I'm ready to explode, but once I move and sit up the pain is gone. Doesn't bother me otherwise unless I'm not active and sitting for an extended period of time. Could the pelvic pain have anything to do with the Dvt.

Yes it can especially if you have May-Thurner Syndrome causing your DVT. It's an often overlooked cause of DVT somehow but I have this condition and you should definetely get checked for it.
