Hi welcome to health care magic...
You are having post operative thrombosis problem....
Prolonged bed rest after operation is predisposing factor for thrombus...
You are on low molecular weight heparin therapy....
After completing it you might need oral anticoagulant drug for some time...
Alcohol having multisystemic effect and it can lead your condition worsen..
So better is to avoid alcohol just now...
Take care
Advise : Physician consultation for further examination and work up
