Questions for my new doctor

Today I have a first visit with a new primary care physician. (I'll call her "Dr. R.") Previously, I was signed up at a facility that is a 25-30 minute drive from my home. It never bothered me because I almost never needed a doctor. My new doctor is closer - a good thing, since I'm apparently not supposed to be driving at all.

I'm nervous. Before all this happened, I hated going to the doctor. Now that it has happened, I still hate it, but my terror of another clot is more powerful. I have conflicting feelings of wanting to see doctors every day, and never wanting to see one again.

These are my questions for Dr. R:

• Cramps in my "good" leg -- could I be developing a DVT there?
• Okay to exercise? (It's been 10 days since diagnosis)
• Can I drive? For how long? (My business requires driving within 2-3 hour radius.)
• Twinges and pains -- how do I know they're a drug side effect and not a new clot or pulmonary embolism (PE)?
• How long can I work at a desk each day? (Hopefully not less time than I've spent here already!)
• Where are the actual clots in my leg? (I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I was so discombobulated and upset when I got the diagnosis, I'm not sure I understood the information I received from the NP and other doctor. I need to get the full facts today.)
• What about air travel? Will I ever be able to travel internationally again?
• What about those compression socks I keep reading about?

Update to follow.
