The swelling in dvt can take long to reduce. More important than the swelling is fact that the dvt should go away. Warfarin is good medicine for dvt but should be monitored regularly. Your doctor is treating you correctly. Don' t forget to get a colour doppler study repeated to know the current status. Don' t worry about the swelling it will go away gradually. Remember untreated dvt can be fatal.
