My problem began a year and a half ago with leg pain. I went to an orthopedist, then to a study of the blood flow through the veins. I also made a full blood count, and there were almost all the things that were good, only the vitamin "D" and "B" were very low. I get vitamins but the pains in the legs are the same. And I went to a chiropractic for three months, but that did not help. But now I get a bumpy under my arm and it hurts me a lot. And for my male dignity I have redness in a few weeks. I gave a lot of money for research and reviews but I have no diagnosis. I'm glad if you can help me. I have health insurance.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
"As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this-
1) Do a clinical examination in detail by your Doctor and do few pathological tests to confirm it [Blood D Dimer, Ultrasound, and CT scan]
2) If confirmed then discuss with your Doctor for [Blood Thinners] for 3 months along with [Clotbusters].
3)Discuss with your Doctor about [Compression stockings] from knee to foot and you need it for 2-3 years.
Do follow few lifestyle modifications like this -
1)If you're having any surgery, you'll probably be given blood thinners while you're in the hospital. Your doctor may also prescribe medications that help prevent clots to be taken for a while after surgery.
2) Avoid sitting still. If you've had surgery or have been on bed rest for other reasons, try to get moving as soon as possible. If you're sitting for a while, try not to cross your legs because this can limit blood flow. If you're traveling a long distance by car, stop every hour or so and walk around.
3) If you're on a plane, try to stand or walk occasionally. If you can't do that, at least try to exercise your lower legs. Try raising and lowering your heels while keeping your toes on the floor, then raising your toes while your heels are on the floor.
4) Try to lose weight and quit smoking.
5) Get regular exercise. Exercise lowers your risk of blood clots, which is especially important for people who have to sit a lot or travel frequently.
