Hi there, thanks for asking. clotting may happen following hospitalization in the legs and should be investigated if the person hospitalized feel pain in his legs. It may also involve the lungs so it should be addressed quickly. Other reasons for this issue also will be addressed at the hospital setting. Best wishes.
