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.
Giving myself the injection! Help!

I am travelling to Hawaii in 3 weeks, and in my efforts to find someone to give me my Clexane/Lovenox injection and am beginning to realise that giving it to myself is the best option. I am terrified of needles, and I HATE the clexane injection, it's soooo painful. I'm scared that I'm either not going to inject it in the right spot, or it'll insert the needle too far in, or not far enough. Or that I'll pull the needle out by reflex after only injecting half the fluid (Because it hurts too much)
I think Clexane is very similar to the Lovenox injections others talk about on here. Has anyone else had to give themselves the injection? I need to do it in my stomach :S Can anyone offer advice or support? I suggested to my bf that he do it but he doesn't want to hurt me :P I doubt he'll have the guts.

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.

So, did you do it?
Hope this helped.
