Anyone experienced Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)?

Could be a May-Thurner (google) variant, which requires aggressive thrombolysis/thrombectomy and stenting. And anticoagulation stat. At the very least, you need a CT w/ contrast of the proximal venous vasculature for definitive diagnosis. And this is generally treated at medical centers with experience in this sort of thing. The docs who are blowing you off are negligent, so far it seems. You're going to have to be a squeaky wheel until you get to the care you need.

Been pretty squeaky so far but to no avail. Been to 2 different urgent cares, my PCP and my GI doctor-all they do is look for the ordinary and familiar. When I saw my GI he did a physical exam by squeezing my left hip once while I was sitting in a chair and declaring that there was no tenderness. That was it for my exam. My PCP (her PA actually) ordered a CT of abdomen and pelvis but without contrast and not stat. Saw her on Nov. 10th but have yet to get the scan done. Still waiting on my insurance company to call me back with an appointment day and time. The pain is really getting to me since it has been not good since Nov. 1st!
