DVT on blood thinners ?

I'm wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with DVT in the leg ? I have the suspicion that despite being on clopidogrel for years I may have a one. Going to see GP soon but didn't want to appear like a hypochondriac, it's the leg the grafts were taken from 5 years ago.

Whilst blood thinners significantly reduce the risk of DVT it does not reduce it to zero. Ring your GP now as if you have one there is always a risk of part of it detaching and ending up elsewhere!
