Developed DVT behind right knee (detected via ultrasound) 10 days after major surgery. Was put on Lovenox shots for five days, plus 5mg Cumadin daily. Regimen of bed rest & elevated feet for 5 weeks have not decreased swelling significantly and pain is about the same, perhaps greater. Last week my General Practitioner suggested light to moderate exercise to see if the pain and swelling may be caused by inactivity. There has been no noticable change (improvement or worsening). Is there a "normal" period of time to recover from this condition, and if so, what is the amount of time?
