Hello,
I see through the query that your boyfriend is on the right treatment for blood clots. I recommend to avoid staying to long on the feet. I also suggest to use compressive stockings and maintain the feet elevated if possible. I also suggest to walk to help the blood circulation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
