Dear Kerri, I am sorry that I have no suggestions for pain relief after DVT. I would like to hear your story, though. I am 33 as well and had an illiofemoral DVT about three months ago. I am still on Coumadin and expect to remain on the medication for one full year. Apparently, I am genetically prediposed. What interests me is what caused your clot to form and why you were taken off medication. I live an active life, also, as I am an exercise physiologist and work out all the time. I currently have no pain, but I do know that aerobic activity helps thin blood and causes natural pain relivers to kick in, namely endorphins. My lack of pain could be due to my medication, though. Good luck to you! Joan
