Auto correct... I meant DVT.

According to the Cleveland Clinic website, "most DVTs occur in the lower leg, thigh or pelvis, although they also can occur in other parts of the body including the arm, brain, intestines, liver or kidney." But I have think those are fare less common than those that occur in legs and pelvis.

Back pain can be indicative of so many things. I can't remember.... are you on warfarin right now?

Jantoven. I'm guessing it's the same thing.

Are you in therapeutic range?

Not the last time I was checked (Monday). I'm on vacation now in Florida.

Stress can make your back hurt, being tired can also do that and having a DVD in one's back would definitely do that too.
(***yes, I'm joking about the DVD.)
But stress is my guess, this DVT business is enough to stress somebody out, that's what this place is good for, you can talk with others who have been in your shoes.

What I'm getting at is that if your INR is on the high side of the low end, in range, or above range, it would be unusual to throw a clot.

he back is a large area, so if it's lower back pain, that could be from sitting weird, sitting too long, muscle strain, constipation, female issues, ie ovarian cyst , kidney infection, etc. If it's upper back pain, that could from sitting weird, sitting too long, muscle strain, tension (I get this a lot between my shoulder blades) sleeping funny, gall bladder, heart attack, lung issues etc.

So this can be a lot of things and I think clots would be low on the list.

With that said, if you're concerned have it checked out.

Dero...DVD. Hilarious.

Being on vacation is def a situation where your back could be irritated by something...car ride, new bed or pillow, different activity than the norm. As rmb stated, depending on where the pain is could tell a lot. No fever or anything, correct?

No fever. Just a constant pain that strengthens with rising up from a seated position. I think it's just my silly head at work. When I left Togo on vacation the only thing my doc told me to be careful about was the ocean! I never did ask her why.... spontaneous bleeding to attract sharks???????
