Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have deep vein thrombosis. It could be due to some clotting tendency.
Clotting tendency is seen in factor 5 leiden mutation, other genetic factor deficiency or some cancer. All can leads to high chance of intravenous clotting.
Please send me your reports of coagulation profile so that I can help you further.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
