David's story - deep vein thrombosis after ACL surgery

Hi, I'm 29 and I had an ACL reconstruction surgery in the beginning of March 2011. I started my rehab, and 2 months after the surgery a deep vein thrombosis(DVT) was discovered in my operated foot. Thinking back to the symptoms, I think I had DVT for over a month. After the operation my doc doesn't prescribed any anticoagulant... Now I'm on Sintrom, wearing some compression stockings and I had to stop the rehab. If anybody has been through this, and can share some experience or advice...
