If the case is just below your knee, you can still do the knee and hip ones. Mainly, just make sure you are getting up frequently and movement around instead of just staying in one spot. Wiggling your toes several times a day should help too.

I have just recently turned 30 and I have had DVT for 5 years now and in them 5 years I have had 6 blood clots. The best advice I can give is stay active as much as possible preferably swim if you can and plenty of fluids to prevent blood clots.You can also wear made to fit stockings for the area that’s effective to improve blood flow. If you suspect you have one or your feeling pain in the suspected area and discolouration, take aspirin to thin your blood and seek medical help. They will most likely put you on blood thinning medication or if it’s more severe they will suggest surgery but surgery is not a 100% fix as it can come back.
Were you able to fully reverse it? I'm 19 and I've had thrombosis in my left leg and genitals since I was 15. Is 4 years too late to *fully reverse it?
Same here!! I’ve been sitting for long period of time due to medical issues, and I’ve been SUPER worried about getting a blood clot. So happy I found this video!
Thank you, Dr Jo. Feeling the pain in my calf at times and wanting to see a doctor to ask why the pain. The exercises you did are easy to follow. I'll do the exercises.
Thank you very much, I’m 26 and recently had a massive DVT that ran from my leg up near my kidney veins in the vena cava. I’ll be doing these exercises as well as asking my doctor for other preventative measures
Here because I am being treated for a superficial blood clot in my leg. I sit for log periods at work. I have been taking more breaks to move around now. Thank you for this video on a way to keep the blood flowing and more active while sitting. 🙏🏻
pls dont wait go to the doctor right now i went to see her shes been complaing of pain in her legs and she had heart failure in my presence the octopsy report said she have blood clots dvt which killed her see your doctor ok@@rekhajangiti3021

I've had leg swelling (puffiness) since 2007 when I was in my early 20s I've flown planes several times, although the last time around I started panicking bcuase of chest tightness and lower back pressure when the plane was ascending/taking off. I went to the Dr. a few times over the past years and he never really mentioned much, just to lose weight and gave me water pills. It hasn't done me harm (i.e. I work out a few times a week running and am pretty active). I'm freaking out nowadays and don't want to go on the airplane to any trips because of my (minor) experience last time around (which might have just been an anxiety attack). This video is great as I sit for 10-12 hours at a time without moving (office job) and will give these a try., especially in early mornings, since I always wake up with sweaty ankles.
I have regular swelling of my feet, especially my left foot. In 2012 I suffered 2 strokes because of a brain tumour, and have been housebound since. I started getting swellings on my left leg, which my mum said were water, now one at the back leaks constantly and is extremely painful. To add to my stress because of my health I have been prioritised on my island to get my 1st vaccine dose next week (I'm 50) and I saw somewhere we're getting the Astrazenica vaccine, the one now causing blood clots in some people, I'm terrified.
I'm active gym enthusiast and I got a DVT by working out legs. No one is safe, a small clot segment made it to my right lung. I was on heparin for 5 days, and then switched to elliquis. They found a DVT on my left calf. No symptoms, just freak accident. I actually went in to get allergy medicine and staid for a PE and DVT I had no idea I had.
@@AskDoctorJo I have experience anxiety for the first time in my life, I'm 29. I hope to get some mental help down the road as well. It's been extremely hard and stressful
@@AskDoctorJo doctors titled my condition as " small subsegmental pulmonary embolism" from your personal approach would you suggest therapy for longer than 3 months? I have an appointment with my hematologist tomorrow, I hope she can clear some answers. Thanks for your replies.
You're welcome. You will definitely need to ask your hematologist that, and she should be able to answer them for you. Unfortunately, I don't know since I can't evaluate you.
I don't have DVT BUT do have chronic vein insufficiency disease. I had nearly 20 plus treatments which are extremely costly and three to five years later it appears as though I have had zero treatments. Supplements and herbs help as does my medical support stockings plus elevation of my legs at night. They are not fixes so am so grateful to have found these exercises to add to my walking. Not one time did any of my doctors who have performed the ablations give me exercises outside of walking regularly. SO...Thank you.
Thank you so much for doing this, it is an issue very close to my heart. well not too close lol Hopefully they don't move up that far. but yes thank you so much for this Doc you are awesome!!
Thank you for this! I have been taking contraceptive pills now (for pcos) and have been developing veins behind my knee. And also since it's pandemic everyone's been wfh and been sitting whole day.😅 Can you suggest what best time of the day can we do this? Thanks
I was just released from the hospital I have a small clot in my calf and my right lung. What is best to do after you find out? What am I limited to, and not limited to. I've of course asked my doctors, I just feel like they weren't confident 100%. So, what are the can do's and do not's?
@@ablair33556 not good, dealing with all kinds of issues with no answers from doctors. Long list of medical stuff. Thank you are asking tho. I'm trying to battle through. Just very difficult to do so.
I have already been diagnosed with new DVT on my left leg and old DVT on my right. I'm in pain most of the time, sitting walking and sleeping. What exercises can I do?😭
Actually i have DVT problem im not able to walk correctly and whenever i try to walk it was like i will fall anytime I will try these then give u all a review
Hi hope ur r fine.i have my left leg keep warm from time to time no pain no swelling no nothing although i work as a nurse but no pain just one leg and no pain.why is that?i take one tablet of liver fish oil a day plz give me the reason
@@peonyrose8717 hi, i recently found out i have a DVT. Its been 1 week. How long did it take for you the clot to dissolve? Also did it break and move to your chest?
@@KI080199 trust me you'll know if you have one. Keep whichever limb is affected extended as much as possible so the walls around the main and superficial arteries stay more open and allow blood to flow. The go get blood thinners or see a hematologist. Either extreme immobility or genetics are causing it
@@KI080199 xarellto is about 4-600 dollars without insurance but you can usually get the pharmacy to apply coupons so you don't have to pay anything. But it won't work every time. Also you should start taking 325 mg aspirin every day. It actually works as a blood thinner, not like xarellto but it helps a lot. Also I'm curious. Why do you think you have one? Do you have pain and swelling
@@vinchenzo2502 bro my mother got dvt after surgery and now her whole one leg is swolled should I be worried or will it go away after treatment how much time would it take please can you tell me how are you now.
+:l Thanks! Sure I can do one for varicose veins. The main thing is to increase circulation in your legs, like walking and biking, but I will put some exercises together as well.
Dr Jo, Do you have any exercises to do post DVT in the arm? I was told I likely had a paget schroetter syndrome DVT in my right arm. I am very active, but do repetitive motion for my job. Thank you
Hi Jo I diagnosed DVT at the age of 23 now I m 27 but still doctor told me to take warfin . its really depress me . doctor telling me that you have to take warfin for life time. Please advice. DVT and varicose vein in my left leg. And I love to go gym. Can I do cardio and fat loss exercises . today I having pain in my right ankle should I continue exercises
In my experience staying active all day everyday helps. Try swimming if you can or skipping as this will help blood flow. Also food such as garlic and ginger are very good for keeping your blood clean and clear, food is worth looking into for preventing blood clots. Consider made to fit stocking for support as this will increase blood flow.
Ma'am my dad is cancer patient, 54 year old, done with RCC nephrectomy 10-11 months ago, and now are on Tablet-sunitinib (chemotherapy) . Right now suffering from IVC thrombosis. Which excercises can you recommend for ivc thrombosis????? Currently on - tablet - warfarin 5mg Injection - Enoxaparin
I would suggest light exercise that doesn’t put to much strain on the body such as swimming or skipping. Food such as garlic and ginger are very good for keeping you blood clean and clear as well. People don’t always think about what they eat but it drastically helps when you know what you are looking for.
I already have a DVT in my calf thats left me bed ridden its so painful. Therefore, I'm not able to do those ankle pumps. Any other suggestions for my situation? Any video titles you know that can help me?
My legs are red splotchy Almost looks like a bad sun burn all around the calf area just above my ankle it looks like all broken up red rashy looking but dark will those exercises work if I do them and will redness go away I wish I could send a picture
Not sure why my other comment got deleted, but I simply asked what the root cause of these blot clots in legs if athletes and runners are getting them, too? Is it due to the ankles and calfs not getting enough circulation??
Hmmm-hope you answer this: I’m 72 and I work on my feet 5-7 hrs with walking snot 1-2 mile a day thereabout 3-4 days a week. My leg on right for 2 weeks have been in excruciating spasmodic/ continual hard knitting cramps. I can’t bend my knee more than 20 degrees and the pain goes into calves top of foot and ankle and I can barely drive the 1 2/2 mile home without crying its so bad with brains feeling like they’re throbbing from knee and down my lower leg while also my knee and under thigh and knee aching so bad with horrid tight cramps. I’ve changed to good diet, more water electrolytes, more potassium and magnesium for 10 days but it never stops but eases up a little bit so I can sleep. As soon as my feet hit the floor it comescsurging back. Am going to my MD tomorrow in hopes he can help IRC’s end me to a vascular doctor. Suzy 12-22-19
How many reps of each excersie should I do? & every how often?? Also I have been having this slight cramp pain in left left leg nothing to painful, it’s not necessarily on the calf it self but on the side of the leg. It doesn’t hurt when I walk at all but when I stand somewhere for a certain period of time or I sit down for a certain period of time it starts hurting again. No swelling or anything in leg .
@@chandu33133wow I forgot I even left a comment . Unfortunately I had a clot about a year ago & it went to my lungs & I had a pulmonary embolism . When I left comment 4 yrs ago probably was nothing at the time . But I did get one in 2023 like I just mentioned . Weird , maybe it was early signs I was gonna eventually get a Dvt
if i had sustained injury on my left leg (upper surface area where calves muscles is beneath) and it's sometimes swollen, making both legs look different in shape/size and I'm like suffering for almost fourth year. so am just hoping if I could get exercise routine tips that would help me get back my normal leg shape/size.
I’ve been noticing from working five to 10 Hrs a day, I’ve been having cramps in my outside thighs. I can’t really squat without struggling to stand back up. Could this be a sign of oncoming DVT? I’ve been taking taking taytulla for my iron deficiency anemia. So I wanted to ask.
Hey Doc I used my sisters vibration plate a few times for short minutes and my bulging veins which I had already started giving me fits and hurting like crazy I had planned to get one but now I rethinking it will they eventually help these veins over time are make them worse and I should not invest in one
Lately I get stiff calf pains after only an hour of sitting at my desk, Does that sound more serious? What type of doctor should I see to rule out DVT? Thanks
sorry for delayed response you asked me Did you have an injury or was this just from over use? ,yeah you was right i think this happend of over use(rode bicycle for nearly two and half hours countinously) but unfortunately doctors on my location have no proper reason they even do not knowing or beliving this incedent, they always try to compremise me as this just pain due to over use and defecency they gave me pills for curing it.But am not full compremised with the results and still getting pain on knee mostly left one.. what would you suggest?
My question is this... if someone has undiagnosed DVT could these exercises be potentially dangerous? I only ask because I'm a web developer with 8+ hour days and I have been having tenderness on the underside of my right thigh. Doesn't appear to be swollen, just tender where my my leg would normal begin to hang off my office chair. Not to mention I had a bad habit of putting my left ankle over my right knee, adding even more pressure on the veins in my right leg. I suspect that DVT is a possibility so I have an appointment to see my doctor on the 10th. Worst case, if I do have DVT, could this possibly help force that clot from my leg to another, more undesirable, spot in my body? Would adding aspirin to my daily regimen possibly help combat DVT?
If you are worried you might have a DVT, I would hold off on the exercises until you find out for sure. Usually there is a lot of swelling, redness, and pain, so it doesn't sound like one, but it's best to find out for sure from the doctor before trying these. Good luck.

Right now suffering from IVC thrombosis.
Which excercises can you recommend for ivc thrombosis?????
Currently on - tablet - warfarin 5mg
Injection - Enoxaparin
I would suggest light exercise that doesn’t put to much strain on the body such as swimming or skipping. Food such as garlic and ginger are very good for keeping you blood clean and clear as well. People don’t always think about what they eat but it drastically helps when you know what you are looking for.
If you’ve got an established DVT will exercise propagate it?
I already have a DVT in my calf thats left me bed ridden its so painful. Therefore, I'm not able to do those ankle pumps. Any other suggestions for my situation? Any video titles you know that can help me?
My legs are red splotchy Almost looks like a bad sun burn all around the calf area just above my ankle it looks like all broken up red rashy looking but dark will those exercises work if I do them and will redness go away I wish I could send a picture
Not sure why my other comment got deleted, but I simply asked what the root cause of these blot clots in legs if athletes and runners are getting them, too? Is it due to the ankles and calfs not getting enough circulation??
Unfortunately, there are many causes for blot clots. It's not just a circulation issue.
were do i get a leg bandage from i have had dvt oncc
How many times should be done for last exercise (message of leg)? Same to half to an hour?Thanks!
The massage only needs to be done 2-3 minutes a few times a day. Good luck!
Do you have exercises for healing the popliteus muscle exercise
I don't have one specifically for the popliteus, but it works with the hamstrings, so these might help: ruclips.net/video/fPCTajPbux4/видео.html
What if you have a cast. How are you supposed to do those exercises with the cast on the ankle and cab
Any advice is you already have DVT and you don't wanna get more but have to do 24hours of flying
I have one problem when I was trying to touch my leg Straight I got a pain in my leg so please give me a solution
I have too. How is your leg pain now?
Hmmm-hope you answer this: I’m 72 and I work on my feet 5-7 hrs with walking snot 1-2 mile a day thereabout 3-4 days a week. My leg on right for 2 weeks have been in excruciating spasmodic/ continual hard knitting cramps. I can’t bend my knee more than 20 degrees and the pain goes into calves top of foot and ankle and I can barely drive the 1 2/2 mile home without crying its so bad with brains feeling like they’re throbbing from knee and down my lower leg while also my knee and under thigh and knee aching so bad with horrid tight cramps. I’ve changed to good diet, more water electrolytes, more potassium and magnesium for 10 days but it never stops but eases up a little bit so I can sleep. As soon as my feet hit the floor it comescsurging back. Am going to my MD tomorrow in hopes he can help IRC’s end me to a vascular doctor. Suzy 12-22-19
Unfortunately, that could be a number of things. Hopefully your MD will be able to help.
Is calf pain alone considered as DVT ?
Thigh too
Hiee mam i had a blood clot in my left leg since 8 yrs and now i am pregnant taking heparin injections daily ,can i do these excercises ?
How many reps of each excersie should I do? & every how often??
Also I have been having this slight cramp pain in left left leg nothing to painful, it’s not necessarily on the calf it self but on the side of the leg. It doesn’t hurt when I walk at all but when I stand somewhere for a certain period of time or I sit down for a certain period of time it starts hurting again. No swelling or anything in leg .
I have same problem now. How are you feeling now and what is the problem
,
@@chandu33133wow I forgot I even left a comment . Unfortunately I had a clot about a year ago & it went to my lungs & I had a pulmonary embolism . When I left comment 4 yrs ago probably was nothing at the time . But I did get one in 2023 like I just mentioned . Weird , maybe it was early signs I was gonna eventually get a Dvt
Hello dear! I face dvt problem and currently i take pills to thin my blood. Can i start these exercise ?
Can wearing a knee wrap for long periods of time cause DVT?
Mam
My husband have this clot in left leg sins 2007
Please give solution for this
Dr.,treatment, therapy all was done but not a good result.
The above might help.
if i had sustained injury on my left leg (upper surface area where calves muscles is beneath) and it's sometimes swollen, making both legs look different in shape/size and I'm like suffering for almost fourth year.
so am just hoping if I could get exercise routine tips that would help me get back my normal leg shape/size.
I’ve been noticing from working five to 10
Hrs a day, I’ve been having cramps in my outside thighs. I can’t really squat without struggling to stand back up. Could this be a sign of oncoming DVT? I’ve been taking taking taytulla for my iron deficiency anemia. So I wanted to ask.
Hey Doc I used my sisters vibration plate a few times for short minutes and my bulging veins which I had already started giving me fits and hurting like crazy I had planned to get one but now I rethinking it will they eventually help these veins over time are make them worse and I should not invest in one
Lately I get stiff calf pains after only an hour of sitting at my desk, Does that sound more serious? What type of doctor should I see to rule out DVT? Thanks
Your general practitioner should be able to easily rule that out.
sorry for delayed response you asked me Did you have an injury or was this just from over use? ,yeah you was right i think this happend of over use(rode bicycle for nearly two and half hours countinously) but unfortunately doctors on my location have no proper reason they even do not knowing or beliving this incedent, they always try to compremise me as this just pain due to over use and defecency they gave me pills for curing it.But am not full compremised with the results and still getting pain on knee mostly left one.. what would you suggest?
+vikky Kumar These might help: www.askdoctorjo.com/content/knee-stretches Good luck.
Maam can you explain how does hip flexion helps ?? Gastro soleus is already being activated earlier in previous exercises right??
Increased circulation helps prevent them, so any lower extremity exercise will help.
My question is this... if someone has undiagnosed DVT could these exercises be potentially dangerous? I only ask because I'm a web developer with 8+ hour days and I have been having tenderness on the underside of my right thigh. Doesn't appear to be swollen, just tender where my my leg would normal begin to hang off my office chair. Not to mention I had a bad habit of putting my left ankle over my right knee, adding even more pressure on the veins in my right leg. I suspect that DVT is a possibility so I have an appointment to see my doctor on the 10th. Worst case, if I do have DVT, could this possibly help force that clot from my leg to another, more undesirable, spot in my body? Would adding aspirin to my daily regimen possibly help combat DVT?
If you are worried you might have a DVT, I would hold off on the exercises until you find out for sure. Usually there is a lot of swelling, redness, and pain, so it doesn't sound like one, but it's best to find out for sure from the doctor before trying these. Good luck.
