Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that the urinary urgency does not seem to be related to the blood clot.
It may be related to an urinary infection. For this reason, I recommend you to watch your urine.
If it is of a different color (darker or redish) or if you have pain while urinating, or an increased frequency I recommend performing a urine analysis.
If there is presence or red blood cells in the urine, without any other signs of infection, it may be necessary to stop taking Plavix, because of the urinary bleeding. Anyway, an abdominal ultrasound would be necessary in both cases (urinary bleeding or infection).
If the ancle is swollen compared to the other ankle, I would recommend going to the ER for a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
