I had mine only while in the hospital. Not sure how many, at least 4!

Sent from my iPhone using VST

I had to do it for 2 wks, 14 shots. But I actually stopped on day 11. In the beginning I got used to them and they didn't hurt, but the last few I did were like the most painful thing. I think by then I was bruised and sore all over my abdomin. My husband gave them to me.

I just had them while in the hospital for the surgery. They gave me quite a few doses.

The shots were given to you to either stop a blood clot from forming or dissolve one you already have. You should never stop taking them until you have completed what your Dr. has ordered. If you have or get a clot and it breaks loose in your blood stream it will either go to your heart and cause a Pulmonary Embolism that carries a 75 % death rate. Or it will go to your brain and cause you to ha e a Stroke. So please follow your Physicians order so you can live to enjoy your new life

I only had 2 shots a day in the shoulder for the 3 days I was in the hospital...Good luck on your journey & welcome to the club!
