A blood clot forms in one of your deep veins, commonly in your leg, causing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT can cause discomfort and edoema, as well as consequences including pulmonary embolism.

Deep vein thrombosis causes swollen legs, which is a very typical symptom. Compression stockings and compression therapy are beneficial in treating these conditions. Dislodgment of clots from the legs to the lungs is a rare but significant consequence of DVT.
