Dear Sundance,

Thank you for your reply and I hope your symptoms get better and you don't need a surgery.

I only had one clot that happened more than a year ago. Since then I am on anticoagulants. I did ultrasound on many occasions and they told me my vein is open with just minor residual.

I also did dynamic ultrasound where they tried to see if there is compression. In certain positions they can see some compression. For example when I am lying down there is no compression at all. When I stand up there is some compression and when I rise my hands the compression actually gets better (which is a bit weird).

I am doing venogram next week and hopefully they will know more. For me the hardest part is that I really have no idea how to make a decision. I am perfectly fine now, no symptoms at all that I can tell. But if there is some vein compression should I still do the surgery.
