anyone ever have blood clots

I just found out I had them in my legs and a small one in my lungs, have to see a vascular doctor next WK,I'm on blood thinners, told my new doctor about it and showed him my swollen legs and I got sent to the ER, just wondered am I going to get stuck with surgery? I'd rather not

I just had one Stent and arterial bypass surgery on my right leg. The Stent wasn't a big deal, but the arterial bypass was rough. It took 2 months for the pain to go away. They don't tell you how invasive the surgery is. The damage to muscles and nerves. I will say my leg and foot are no longer swollen and I walk much better. I guess it's worth it as the option was losing my foot
