What was your outcome? I have no pain or any other symptoms except for the blood clot. Lots of people on here have said that their pain got worse after their surgery. I don't want to have new symptoms after surgery that were not present before.

Sorry, I have not had the surgery. I'm a newbie in this. I see my first vascular surgeon next Wed after having tried some conservative routes.
