Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), that is, blood clots in the deep veins. Chronic venous insufficiency caused by DVT may be described as postthrombotic syndrome. DVT triggers an inflammatory response subsequently injuring the vein wall. [6] Superficial vein thrombosis. Phlebitis; May–Thurner syndrome. This is a rare condition in which blood clots ...
Patients with upper-extremity DVT may develop upper-extremity PTS, but the incidence is lower than that for lower-extremity PTS (15–25%). [22] [23] No treatment or prevention methods are established, but patients with upper-extremity PTS may wear a compression sleeve for persistent symptoms. [20]
Chronic compartment syndrome in the lower leg can be treated conservatively or surgically. [ 1 ] [ 23 ] Avoid using devices that apply pressure, like splints, casts, or tight dressings. [ 58 ] [ 24 ] If symptoms persist after basic treatment, or if someone wants to keep doing painful activities, compartment syndrome can be treated with surgery ...

[5] In those with chronic pain, the pain processing system may malfunction, causing large amounts of pain in response to non-serious events. [11]
Extensive lower-extremity DVT can even reach into the inferior vena cava (in the abdomen). [104] Upper extremity DVT most commonly affects the subclavian, axillary, and jugular veins. [11] The process of fibrinolysis, where DVT clots can be dissolved back into the blood, acts to temper the process of thrombus growth. [105] This is the preferred ...
