My mom had HTO knee surgery on her left leg two weeks ago but keeps getting frequent fever, swelling, and pain. The doctors diagnosed her with DVT and are treating her with Enoxaparine sodium injections. There's slight improvement, but I'm not sure if this is the best treatment or if we should see another specialist. How long does it usually take to recover from DVT

DVT recovery takes weeks to months; continue enoxaparin and follow up with a vascular specialist.
