What Causes Severe Pain In Abdomen After IVC Filter Was Placed?
Ivc filter removable placed in novemeber. Every time I suck in my abdomen or move in certain directions. I get flank pain so bad I double over and I am very bloated and tender to touch on the flank region..it is know a clot hit the filter but it is not completely occluded so they are keeping it in until my anticoagulation therapy is over. Any reason know as to why I have severe flank pain on the same side as this filter???

Hi.
The probable reason can be a development of a hematoma , causing such a pain. This can be easily confirmed by ultrasonography and color doppler . And you should consult a Doctor and get the investigations done as it may be necessary to know this at the earliest.
