DVT (deep vein thrombosis) prevention and treatment

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.

I was diagnosed with dvt/pe in both lungs in November in 2021. I was in the hospital for almost 2weeks on I’ve medication. I was released on elequis 5mg. The keep sending or calling an ambulance because of chest pain. It’s because of the chest wall pain damage from dvt/pe.
I woke up this morning with with my right knee swollen and hurting and in my right calf also. It started starting stinging up the side of my leg this evening.
I’m scared and don’t know what to do
