Patient: Is it a bad sign that there is some pain in the calf again? Or is it normal? I don’t have time to go to Jinan to see a doctor now, but I want to go back when I’m on vacation, I don’t know if it will be delayed? Doctor: Be careful not to strain too much and reduce standing time. Patient: The color of the two legs is different, the affected limb is dark, red and purple, is it inflammation?

Is it necessary to check the four coagulation tests to take warfarin? Then adjust the dosage. Doctor: Blood tests should be done 3-4 weeks for the four coagulation tests to ensure the safety of the medication.
