@ladybeachbum : Yes, they can be very dangerous. Luckily mine is not a DVT, but, sometimes even ones closer to the surface can move or shift positions and become DVT's. Right now I am just taking aspirin, gabapentin, and some sort of cream. Although since I came back from the ER yesterday I have developed a second blood clot on my foot same leg. So who knows what's going on. I'm calling the doctor in the morning. In the meantime I'm hoping one doesn't decide to break away and travel somewhere else in my body. Thank you for the well wishes.
