Having any sort of thrombotic event can be traumatic, in particular if the person affected was taken to hospital without knowing or understanding what was happening. This can be a frightening experience for the whole family. Treatment is usually initiated immediately, and usually lasts for several months. It can be difficult to fully understand the information given to you at the time about what has happened and what you need to do to make the best possible recovery and help to ensure that your clot does not recur.

This section of the website outlines what to expect in the first hours, days and weeks after a thrombosis, from the hospital tests identifying exactly what has happened to the treatment plan used to treat thrombosis.
