Blood clots anyone?

Well, I had the embolism...since that is what it is considered if it is on your lung. Your right there wasn't pain but there were other symptoms that I had...not being able to breath. Maybe some don't get pain with the portal vain bit o sure did. Cutting off blood flow to your liver can cause sever pain.

Drinking your fluids prevents the blood clots. Did you know that the juice from cooked greens has a natural blood thinning effect. That's why people on blood thinners are told not to eat greens. So FYI if you make green juice add bay leaf to the broth and it will cut the gas. Or use gas X to ease discomfort.

Very important to walk and if sitting for a period of time, move those calves

No, I think there were some underlying issues with a surgery I had last year. Ever since that surgery I had problems with my veins in my arm. I also have family history of blood clots. I am seeing a hemotologist to find out more. Blood clots after this type of surgery are very rare...you have a higher risk of getting a leak then getting a blood clot.

Update from today's appointment with the surgeon. Left outside leg hot sensation like i have is NOT blood clot. She said it is due to the fact that they invert u so much during surgery that it puts pressure on vertebrae/tendons in your back that swell and those nerves go to the left side of your leg. (If that makes any sense to anyone)
