DVT Symptoms Pictures: Leg Pain, Embolism, Causes, and Treatments

Toney Atkins comments: This slideshow from WebMD is of special interest to me since I unexpectedly developed blood clots several years ago and even now have a 50 percent blockage of blood going to my head. (Now you have an idea why I'm crazy.) The initial treatment was a bit painful and very expensive when the clots were discovered in my legs, and so far, the doctor has done nothing regarding the current blockage -- a matter that deeply concerns me, since a separate specialist who deals with eye surgery said that was the cause of my eye and vision problems and that I probably needed surgery involving stints and such. I present this article to you with hopes that you can prevent some of my experiences or at least be aware of potential problems.
