They might have found some clot or impaired circulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to
know what you had been experiencing lately.

Based on the history you have shared, it seems as if they might have picked some thrombus or any other cause of impaired blood flow like tortious vessels. It needs to be reviewed by a vascular surgeon. In some cases of thrombus like in deep vein thrombosis, venous filters are sometimes needed. In few cases of arterial thrombi, embolectomy is needed to restore blood flow. At times it needs to be evaluated for anticoagulation or blood thinners.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
