    DVT is a deep vein clot that requires bed rest initially, elevating the legs, and avoiding walking. After the clot resolves, exercises like calf raises and isometrics along with staying hydrated and avoiding long periods of sitting can help. Raynaud's causes fingers to turn white then blue in response to cold or stress, while Buerger's disease involves blood vessels in fingers and toes turning black.
