Symptoms of AVM/DVT
I was diagnosed with DVT in left calf using colour Doppler one year back, after having some medication and compression stockings, I got relief in pain and swelling...I stopped regular medicine after sometime. Now again the pain and swelling has become sufficient to disrupt normal routine. I changed the doctor and he got my CT Angiography done.. seeing the reports he concluded that I have AVM since birth and recommend sclerotherapy...he said that no medicine can cure this...but I got relief from earlier medication...I am still confused whether I have DVT or AVM...can you please highlight the symptoms of both and help me identify what exactly is the problem...?
