Vascular disease following blood clot

Has anyone had any problem with vascular leg inflammation.
Follow a deep venous thrombosis.

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this, . I hope any of our community members who have had experience with a DVT can share with you, especially if they've also had problem with vascular leg inflammation. There have been studies shown that among people with PsA there is an increased risk for heart disease, unfortunately, so you're definitely not alone in having an experience like this. I'm sharing a link to an article with more information on the link between heart disease and PsA, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/cardiovascular-heart-disease-link-risk. Hopefully you can get some helpful feedback here as well. How are you doing currently? Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
