Gums bleeding!

Okay so while in the hospital I was given hemprin shots every 8 hours for the two days I was their. My doctors sent me with a prescription to five lovenox injections. The nurse did not understand why I needed this, and said that the shots at the hospital should be enough. My surgeon said they make everyone over 50 bmi do it, i was at 51. The thing is my gums have started bleeding and my legs keep getting numb! Should i stop these shot i don't want a blood clot but idk if these shots are doing me ill!!

Contact your doctor. Wish you the best.

My bmi is 38 and my doc sent me home with daily levenox for a week. It's a precautionary measure for any abdominal surgery. Definately call your doc with any unusual bleeding. They may need to change or stop ur dose.

Gum bleeds are usual for anticoagulant therapy as long as its not excessive. You should be using soft bristle toothbrushes.

Still contact the doctor though. And you would not be getting a bloodclot from a blood thinner.
