I have phlebitis in my upper inner thigh and groin area, would bike riding be a safe exercise for me.?

I am having a difficult time keeping the inflamation down and am afraid of causing more injury that would promote the formation of a bloodclot.

have you double checked with our doctor? exercise will increase circulation, it maybe beneficial as it will get the WBCs and noursishment that is needed there, what is the root cause of your phlebitis? have you inquired?
