Thank you, Dr. Wasan. This presentation gave me answers that my current vascular surgeon couldn't or wouldn't answer for me. Because in his eyes, my PTS is considered "mild," I shouldn't worry about it and go live my life. Hard to do when there are days I have severe pain, swelling, aching and burning. I was one of the folks who asked about knee high v thigh high stockings because no doctor seems to be in agreement on which I should wear. This presentation answered that for me. And I liked the breakdown on prevention v treatment. Very helpful in understanding the difference. As well as the part about massage. I can't tell you how amazing it feels when I get a pedicure and I have the lady use the scrub and massage the crap out of my bad leg. That is my favorite part of the entire pedicure. I am a DVT and PE(s) survivor (June 2019), going on 4 years now. I have a one long clot remaining from mid-thigh to behind my knee, with PTS in my calf. Numerous scans show "good blood flow" getting by. So I am thankful for that. I want to thank Todd, Leslie and Dr. Wasan for this very informative presentation. I am so thankful I found this support group. It has helped me in more ways than I can count. Thank you, Denise Ward (Michigan)

The hospitalist doctor told me that my compression stockings I was wearing after I was diagnosed with 6 DVTs caused my pulmonary embolism! I actually laughed in his face as I am a physical therapist and knew that was not true. Really need to educate doctors on compression.

Thank you for great info. Hod Bless❤
