Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You have deep vein thrombosis.  It could be due to some clotting tendency. Clotting tendency is seen in factor 5 laden mutation, other genetic factor deficiency or some cancer.  All can lead to high chance of intravenous clotting. Please send me your reports of coagulation profile so that I can help you further. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
