Documentation of malleolar skin pain on a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). Arrows indicate changes in low-molecular-weight heparin therapy, 1 mg/kg/d. Observe the rapid regression of pain after treatment initiation and recurrence of pain after cessation of therapy.
