Hi,

Post stroke patients increased chances of thrombosis due to stasis of venous blood lead to hypercoagability lead to thrombosis formation. Need heparin injection with periodic leg compression with physiology is useful. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
