Yeah I don't understand your Dr.'s point. Even if the compression is triggering the clot, wouldn't the anticoagulant prevent the clot from forming?
Plus my understanding is that "blood thinners" don't actually "thin" the blood. They just prevent clotting.
Is my understanding of all of this all wrong?
