It is unfortunate that you had this problem. It is a serious matter and needs concerted treatment with lot of dedication.
This is formation of blood clots in the veins. It is more commonly seen when there is some pre-existing risk factor. Pregnancy itself is a risk factor. Surgery is another one. So is obesity, delayed mobility after the surgery.
The best treatment is by giving injections which will make blood less likely to clot.
It is difficult to say how long the treatment will continue. The treatment puts lot of restrictions on the patient. But most of the patients recover completely with no residual damage.
It is a month since Caesarean and about 10-12 days since the problem was diagnosed. That shows that you have good chances of recovery.
