Here is one that touches home for me, about 3 weeks ago I have been diagnosed with PTS, so yes I will be doing some research on it...
For me, the valves and veins (deep veins) were damaged when the clot (the one I had in 2007) was traveling via my lungs and was jammed in my pelvis (btw, I probably am lucky that it stopped there, PE would have been the result had it NOT stop, I GUESS.)

PTS is termed a “syndrome” because it is associated with groupings of symptoms and clinical signs which may vary from patient to patient. Patients with PTS experience pain, heaviness, swelling, cramps, itching, or tingling in the affected limb. Symptoms may be present in various combinations and may be persistent or intermittent. Typically, symptoms are aggravated by standing or walking and improve with resting, leg elevation and lying down. Signs that may be noted on physical examination of the limb include edema, telangiectasias, hyperpigmentation, eczema, varicose collateral veins and, in severe cases, lipodermatosclerosis and ulceration (more...)

sorry to hear that big d. I hope treatment goes above average and you are back to normal soon

Hey Justin,
I had not seen this post, thanks for the concern.
Treatment for it right now is compression socks, for life, could be worst. At least I'm not on any anticoags, been just over 50 days off the junk, you think I'm bummed???
No, as soon as I have recoop from my bladder, you know what I'm doing. Yes, back on the bike...
