I went through the DVT drill several years ago and it was no fun. I did 3 weeks of lovenox injections and then coumadin tabs for about 6 months. Trying to get to a therapeutic level of coumadin was no picnic. There was a 3 week period where I was going to the lab 3 days a week to get STAT tests so I could adjust the coumadin in the afternoon, next day was just rest and back to the lab the next morning for the next test.

I will say that I recovered eventually and am now able to walk without pain, but it took over a year before I could put much weight on the left leg. I've since been to the emergency room twice for DVT tests as my mother died of a broken DVT that became a PE. Luckily, they were negative.

I hope you recover soon.
