Hi Swede. I was told I had a blockage in my superficial femoral artery in my right leg back about 2 months ago now. Rather than clear the blockage with surgery they put me on statin's and daily low-dose aspirin. I'm turning 61 this month. They recommended a daily walk even if I had pain from the bad circulation. I'm not sure if this answers any questions you may have. So far so good. I guess they preferred that as a first line to try to avoid any kind of invasive procedure. I wish you well.

I was recently diagnosed with DVT and PE. Started Eliquis immediately and notice a significant difference in the selling (ankle looked like a plum). 2 tablets 2x day for first seven days and then 1 tablet 2x day ongoing. After moving to 1 tablet, I see swelling still. Will share with Dr. to understand this better- concern or expected. Treatment for 6 months for treatment and prevention. Will see what Dr. recommends after the 6 months. I am 59. Good luck. I has caused me to be anxious as I now question what is DVT/PE and what is normal stuff going on.
