Hello, my husband has had a deep vein thrombosis for about 4 years, from which the pain and ulcerations in his feet are getting worse. to the point that movement is very difficult. They treat him with Rivaroxaban, but there are no improvements in sight

This is a difficult issue and I wish that there would be a good solution for all of us. I had a DVT almost 5 years ago and am still taking another anticoagulant, Eliquis. The way I understand it, the DVT permanently damaged at least one of my leg veins and the leg ulcers are a result. I don’t know of any sure easy cures. I see a vascular surgeon regularly and follow his instructions such as wearing the right compression, exercises and other leg treatments. This all has been moderately successful in decreasing my leg ulcerations. But not a certain cure all. Best wishes for the future.

@mcalcagno Does blood pressures differ significantly between the arms and legs? My guess is that circulation to those legs is sluggish due to microvascular insufficiency
