DVT and higher than normal white blood count.

After suffering from pain in my calf for a couple of weeks I had bloods then an ultrasound and they found two DVTs. I've been been taking anticoagulants for 5 weeks now.

My first blood test for clotting showed higher than normal leukocytes and my second blood test has shown the same. I have to go back for a further blood test in 4 weeks time. This is really worrying me.

I feel fine in myself, no signs of any infection and my leg pain has gone. The 4 week wait to find out seems so long away. I'm hoping it's nothing to worry about 😕.

Hopefully this research paper might ease your worry.
