Man that sux. They put me on the preventative clot therapy after my accident. Shots in the belly for 3 months was no fun!

Post by: KnightofNi on February 03, 2009, 08:23:27 AM
that sucks.


just out of curiosity, do they only give drugs to dissolve the clot or do they ever go in and try to pysically remove it?

I've seen them remove clots in our vascular OR from legs and such. Dunno if they'd do that in Jim's case though.

Get well.

My co-worker just had a clot in his leg - he had to take a lot of meds to break it down and flush it out.

I had to do the belly shots, too. Not as much fun as the ones in the bar!

Get well soon, man. See if you can convince them that Jack Daniels is an anticoagulant.

That is a lame situation from all angles.  Hope you have a speedy and complete recovery. 

Just curious, do you have a DVT?

I'm supposed to give myself shots for 2 more weeks.  I guess I really do need those.  Glad to hear that you got to it before it did  any real damage.  Clots in the heart and lungs sound like no fun.   Heal up fast!  Its almost riding season.   [moto]

DVT=Deep vein thrombosis

A fancy term for a blood clot in the leg.

...In a deep, large diameter vein, which can break loose and go the lungs, as opposed to a superficial vein (could get thrombophlebitis). DVT's come from immobility or states that make you prone to coagulation - recent surgery, cancer, other illnesses.
