Thanks for your response ilias.

I have been walking quite a bit to try and encourage blood flow.

You are right about there being little information with regards to exercise whilst having a dvt. Unfortunately it seems that individual medical staff have their own ideas on what or how much to do.

I have been told to not do anything other than just walking whilst also being told that some form of exercise, which doesn't cause too much pain or swelling is ok. I have also been told that I should try and stretch out my hamstrings by lying down and raising my leg upright and pulling my toes down towards me (I hope you understand what position I am describing ). I have also been told I can do some leg curls with a very small weight to help my knee rehab. With regards to supine or prone positions - do this mean whilst lying on either my back and front, I raise my leg up straight and hold to help my muscle?

I won't be doing anything too quickly or with any resistance for a while, especially with the pain I felt after I went swimming.

Thanks again.
