I had a DVT in June 2013 when I had a knee arthoscopy and was on the pill at the same time. I was on warfarin and clexane for about 3 months. I m flying from Australia to Istanbul next months and I will resume taking the pill again. Should I have a shot of clexane before I leave? Female/ 23 years old/ very active
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is needed. As you had a knee arthroscopy in the past, and you were on medication, i don't think you need to take any for time being. As the medicine you had was for the symptomatic relief and the course is completed. If you have any problems in your travel you can take the same which should help you. Also, undergoing proper physical therapy for DVT and Knee related issues. As per the research physical therapy has been helpful in controlling the pathologies and also improve the overall condition of the health. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
