#AskDrKK: I am suffering from DVT: Can I walk?

#DrKKAnswers: Once blood thinners are started and pain, swelling is under control, the patient is strongly encouraged to get up and walk around.
There is no increased risk of complications including lung attack in people who get up and walk, and walking may help the person to feel better faster.
