Hi, I am a 23 year old male. 4 years ago, I had a football injury which I initially ignored. Since then, I have done my left foot mri two times and no orthopedic deformity was detected. Then I went for a doppler test and there I was diagnosed with superficial vein thrombosis. I searched and found out that these clots in superficial veins gets healed in 3 or 4 weeks. But I am suffering from it from the last 4 years? I am confused and in stress whether this is even possible. I overthink about the possibilities of dvt. Pls any vascular surgeon help me. I am a fit guy. I can not wear socks and at night, it just burns. I am applying thrombophob gel on the affected part. Please anyone help me.

Hello lybrate-user, superficial venous thrombosis is as such itself is not very dangerous, the important point is to find out why it has happened. A injury 4 years back (probably not that major as you could ignore that) is not very convincing as the primary cause. For burning at night, you can have methycobal 1500 mcg intramuscular injection.
