Blood clots one month out!



Recommended Posts

Hi All: I'm one month out and experienced pain on my left side on Wed. Called Dr. on Thurs and he said to go to ER to get an X-Ray. They believe it is a blood clot since one of my blood tests came up high. They said everyone's test comes up high after surgery but should have dropped after 1 month. To me it feels more like muscle pain on my side. Hurts when I get up and down from a lying position. Hurts when I sneeze or cough. All scans were inconclusive. Now they put me on levonox (2 shots a day) just to make sure. They saIid the only test that would show for sure is a CAT scan with contrast which I am allergic to. I can take it if pre medicated with predisone & benadryl to prevent allergic sysmtoms from the dye. The DRs were opposed to this with the band. Did anyone else have a similar situation with blood clots after 1 month out. I was doing and feeling fine? A little depressed right now. Seeing a Lung specialist next week. :( CAT

Dont know why they would put you on lovenox with inconclusive findings. Blood clots do not usually form in your side. Legs, arms, lungs.

I agree Sanction. I'm not happy on these shots 2X a day. If they were absolutely sure then I would have to agree with doing so. I still feel the pain (slight) on left side in rib cage area. The only reason I went was to make sure it was not band related. Then they said my blood test called the D-Dimer which shows clots in the body showed up high. That is when they focused on blood clots. It seems to me there should be some other clear cut test to detect this. I will go to a lung specialist on Tuesday and tell him my concerns. Will keep you posted. CAT

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
