Would wearing compression running tights also help?
I'm not talking about those inexpensive fashion leggings for like $6 at Wal-Mart -- but thick, durable, compression-y work-out leggings / running tights. Usually polyester/spandex blend, or nylon/spandex. Can run like $25-$50+. Stuff from athletic-wear companies like Nike, Under Armour, etc.
I mention this, because I notice a positive difference when wearing these after a long/hard day at work, especially when my legs get a particularly tough work-out. Wear them to bed, and for a while after I awake.
And compared to when I *don't* wear them, or simply just regular leggings? My lower-body always feels better, more rested, more healed... I believe due to the whole blood-flow thing.
Not sure if the lack of feet on these would be an issue for those with DVT.
But yeah, maybe something to also look into, and ask your doctor about.
