Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've been diagnosed with thrombophlebitis in the varicose veins I have in one calf (from a cycling injury 25 years ago), with clots from ankle to knee. Although not a DVT the clots are right up to the popliteal valve so it's been treated as if a DVT with rivaroxaban. I've been told no running or cycling for the 12 weeks of treatment, due to risk of uncontrolled bleeding if I get a knock (so bang goes marathon plan - whimper!)
Wondered if anyone had experience of this condition/ drug treatment, and how returning to running went (assuming you did). General advice, sympathy, etc also welcome
