Hey, I'm on work placement at the moment in an Outpatients department and I have a patient who got a DVT roughly a year ago and subsequently has a severe loss of power in one leg. When I mean severe, I mean she's almost monoplegiac.

I've been trying to find information on how DVTs can cause this severe loss of power but I still haven't found anything of relevance. I want to do case presentation on her and so I need some more information. Can anyone help me?

She has a background on injecting cocaine into the groin and that is what supposedly caused the DVT.

Thanks,
pjlambe
