Heading off to work.
Let me know your thoughts/experiences with these beasts. I always thought of them as being for old folks. At the vascular surgeon's office, I was the youngest by 3 decades, at least.
The nurse at the vascular surgeon's office showed me her compression socks and said the entire office wears them. I appreciate people who practice what they preach.
Quoting: MisSpelt Rebbal Why no asprin ? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7813967 I'm on blood thinners, too. Xarelto. It does nothing for pain. That's what the compression socks are for. I know there are natural blood thinners, but mine was big. Really big. I want it gone ASAP. Diet wise, I'm trying to get into autophagy routinely. Quoting: MisSpelt Rebbal I'm not fond of the new blood thinners. They aren't easily reveresed, if at all, in the event of a bleed. I prefer warfarin. It can be controlled and the dosage is easy to adjust. The new drugs are more convenient though. It's a scary thing. Mine started out as a DVT that was missed. I had severe swelling and crippling pain for years in my leg and was told it was nothing, the last doc to examine me for the leg said I had water on my knee. A year or two later I had the embolism. I'm still really pissed that no one caught the DVT. I had more than 60 clots in my lung when I went to the ER. What's really messed up is that I sat at home and even went to the bed overnight all the while the clots were running through my lung. It was almost 24 hours after the embolism started before I got help, at that point I was blue, I could not breathe at all and I couldn't move because the pain was so bad. My symptoms of PE started as a feeling of euphoria from the hypoxia, pain in my left arm, my entire arm and into my neck and shoulder blade, extreme pain, and then coughing. I ignored the cough until I got worse and then I noticed the palm of my hand had blood all over it, I was coughing it up. When the clot/clots move from your leg up to your lungs, if it's a big one or a large clump of clots, you WILL feel it as it moves through various areas.
