Praying for a speedy recovery. I am scheduled for my surgery on the 13th and am scared as I have a history of a blood clot in arm in August. Hope all goes well for you

Did you let your surgeon know? I have a family history of blood clots (maternal grandma had 2 pulmonary embolisms and my dad had a DVT) and my surgeon plans to have me on blood thinners for longer after surgery to prevent one.

Just wondering... in the day or two before the pain started, did you fly anywhere? Go on a long car trip? Anything unusual?

It would be nice to know if this is only a complication from the surgery, or a combination of factors.

How long do you stay in the hospital?

No I did not fly anywhere or no long car trips. I was in hospital for 5 days. Some Dr' s in the hospital said it is connected to the surgery. I am not sure I will ever find out. It been a tough time! Looking forward to better days ahead.

I'm so happy you are back home, safe and sound! I've been thinking of you! (I didn't want to say anything, but I lost my brother 34yo, and mother, 49yo to pulmonary embolism... my brother flew alot, and my Mom had some long car rides... neither had a diagnosis, so didn't get appropriate treatment).

If they want you to take a blood thinner for the next 6 months or year, it's a good idea. Coumadin takes more upkeep but it is easily reversed in case of excessive bleeding.

Good luck!
