Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.
My old Lovenox injection bruises are itching like mad! Has anyone found any creams or home remedy solutions to stopping these itches?
Or am I the only one having them?

I never had that issue. Maybe take some Benydral if its an allergy issue, or just apply some calamine lotion to the sites.

A good lotion with aloe can work sometimes. I've also used hydrocortisone when they would get really itchy.

DO NOT SCRATCH them! I usually just get a wash cloth with cool water and hold it on the injection sites. I worry about lotions getting in the sites and irritating them worse - but that's just me.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
