It is harmful because if you get blood clots they can loosen and lodge in the lungs. If you get your veins clotted then your blood will not circulate correctly causing death.

In order to treat deep Vein thrombosis you need to receive doctor recommended medication as well as a use of compression stockings. Compression stockings are like long socks but they are very elastic and help prevent the leg from swelling up and creating blood clots.

Leg swelling can occur but there are mainly no symptoms that happen where you can see. Its all internal. You can have pain mostly in your calf, your foot, or in your entire leg and if you have pain in a certain area it will usually feel warm to the touch.
