I got a DVT In my calf 2years ago after a knee operation.. (ACL repair)
Very very painful.
The jabs are Heparin (Tinzaparin). You have to continue with them until they get the dose of warfarin right. I went in three times a week at first so get my blood tested so they can tweak the warfarin amount.
They basically do the job of the warfarin much quicker and will cover you till the warfain levels build up and balance out, then warfarin takes over.
I was on warfarin for 6 months.
Pain in the arse.
Quite scary too.
