I had already been in the hospital for a blood clot on the same leg after knee surgery. My calf is realy hurting as if I had really worked it out too hard. Before my leg swole up from the knee down.
the popliteal artery is located in the knee, behind the kneecap
The collection of blood behind the knee joint is a common problem in air travel. Doctors suggest periodically moving around the cabin and performing various stretches while seated.
Blood build up behind a knee cap seven months after surgery could mean that there is damage to the blood vessels. It could also mean there is an infection present.
When you have hemophilia, the proteins that clot your blood are not being created and therefore, a scab cannot be created to effeciently stop the bleeding.
This can sometimes be caused by a blood clot in which case you should get medical help as soon as possible.
Behind the knee
The popliteal vein course runs alongside the popliteal artery but carries the blood from the knee joint and muscles in the thigh and calf back to the heart.
The popliteal pulse is felt behind the knee.
i dont' see why you can't, i had knee surgery, shortly after knee surgery I formed a blood clot in my calf, The doctor prescribed me Lovenox, which is a shot I take in my stomach to help thin the blood and he also prescribed Warfarin, which is also a blood thinner, For the pain he prescribed oxycodone. Because he prescribed those drugs i assume it is safe to take with blood thinners
Yes, the popliteal region is the area behind the knee.
