Is It Normal To Have Loss Of Sensation In Legs When Suffering From Deep Vein Thrombosis In Legs?
I was diagnosed with extensive DVT in right leg (from pelvis to ankle) 6 months ago. I feel like I have bubbles moving through my veins (or twitching). What is the cause of the twitching. Is this normal? My leg keeps falling asleep while elevating. Should I be concerned?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The twitching and loss of sensations in the legs is likely to be due to a nerve injury or compression. This is not likely to be related to DVT.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
