Dvt and short haul

Hi guys,
I'm a Canadian flight attendant who has recently suffered dvt in my right calf. I operate flights 4.5hrs or less and usually fly 75/80hrs per month. On these flights, there is normally never time to sit. If food or beverage is consumed, it is done so while standing.
My doctor has referred me to see an internist and has mentioned my having to give up my 17 year career doing what I love.

Firstly, had anyone else suffered dvt while operating short haul and secondly, had anyone had to give up flying because of dvt?

Thanks!!
