What were symptoms, testing, hospitalization, treatment, recovery and follow-up like?

    I had a DVT diagnosed 2 weeks post surgery. Symptoms were very subtle - just a tightening in one calf. All were surprised when the US showed a DVT. I had a month of Lovenox injections twice a day followed by two months of oral Xarelto. No hospitalization. This treatment was all based on the fact that my DVT was determined to be 'provoked' by the long surgery rather than by any underlying pathology. Only additional follow up is to consider anticoagulation if I have surgery again.
