What Causes Blackish Discoloration Between The Calf And Ankle Area?
I have had multiple knee surgeries including knee replacement. I developed DVT I think because of the surgeries. Now my skin between my calf and ankle is blackish and not much circulation. No one seems to be able to tell me if this is reversible or if there is treatments besides compression socks. Do you have any advice?
Dear sir/ madam. U can get the doppler of lower limbs. if there s a clot r dvt. meet the physician r ca rdiologist. so that they put u on blood thinking agents. if it's very severe they have different modalities to treat like ivc filter placements for avoiding further complications. do not be bed ridden. kindly move ur legs after meeting a cardiologist
