wheeling 18 Posted May 23, 2013 I know I spelled it wrong , but it means that a viricose vein in the upper leg has a clot, not serious they say, but still I am hoping it won't stop my surgery some time in late June. Any else have this condition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted May 23, 2013 I had phlebitis in my arm. Which normally means inflammation of the vein not clots. If you're talking about DVT then that's a different story all together. I. Sure if your surgeon is aware of your condition he would prep for the issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheeling 18 Posted May 23, 2013 Yes you are right. DVT is what I have. They say it shouldn't interfere wih the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
