Did anyone else have to do blood thinner injections? I am getting some NASTY bruises. This one is about the size of an egg.

I had the lovenox and heperin shot, been of them for 4 days but I still know exactly where they were given, almost feels recent, the areas are very sore, but I do not have bruising it is fairly painful

I think they give them to everyone for blood clots but i didnt have any problems with them. Im sorry youre bruising so bad.

I had to do clexane for 10 days after surgery. My thighs were covered in really big bruised nearly a month post op and still have two that are yellow nearly gone though..they suck but it's better than a blood clot.

I had bruises almost identical to yours. They finally went away.

Thanks everyone! Luckily today is my last day doing them. I've had enough bruises for now

I only had the Heparin shots at the hospital (3 or 4 of them if I remember correctly). They always gave them to me in the belly, and I had a similar bruise that just went away within the last week (and I am Day 27 post-op today).

i had to do them twice a day for 14 days after i left the hospital. yep - great big bruises that stayed for a couple of weeks after i stopped. Even had some little hardened areas under my skin that probably took a month to go away - my surgeon and my primary doc both said that was completely normal with lovenox injections and not to worry.

I only had one. It was right before surgery. The bruise was so large, it looked like the map of the Philippines.

@@ella37 Some of mine have bruised. Try giving them 2 inches away from any incisions or previous injection spots. My SO does a better job than I do - so his haven't bruised as much.

@@blizair09 hehe, Luckily I only had to have one

I had them every 8 hours while I was in the hospital, and had bruises like yours for every single shot. It's two months later and you can still see like a shadow where the bruises were. Can't wait for them to be 100% gone
