**EDIT**
I never even took notice when I went for blood test, but fibrinogen levels aren't tested under regular blood work? It's something you have to ask them to test?
I go in for blood work next month, then a physical a week later.
Big Bapper on here had same symptoms in his leg. He didn't make it, may he RIP.
You can always do some gene testing too....Factor V Leiden and the prothrombin mutation.

I had a dvt last May, i was on xarelto until august, left leg never felt the same after,I take Nattokinase every day now. I have been for years
I have told people on here that Doc Glueck was the one who sent me a script to get every known blood test done to check for ur clotting susceptibility, he sent me a script, i ran EVERY DAMN THING! HE ASKED ME TO, found out my clot was due to having my knees bent under me for way to long due to my career, so i came back g2g, albeit a slight reduction in protein s deficiency, so i will be getring that rechecked within a week ir so,I had a dvt last May, i was on xarelto until august, left leg never felt the same after,
There are a shit more blood tests one should take in order to find out if they are susceptible to clots not just fibrogen, u also need protein s and protein c deficiencies checked abd a shit ton other,

Yes, I have been suggesting this testing for many years. I have Factor V, I did found out after having blood clots on my lungs. The use of steroids will increase the chances to have blood cloths. If I would know in advance I would have use all the supplements necessary to prevent clots and very low dose of test. I was on 280mg per week, which is to high for some one with Factor V.
Damn makes you wonder if it is worth it.
Does donating blood often help?
