Pulmonary Embolism Support Group
By far the most common form of pulmonary embolism is a thromboembolism, which occurs when a blood clot, generally a venous thrombus, becomes dislodged from its site of formation and embolizes to the arterial blood supply of one of the lungs. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, pain during breathing, and more rarely circulatory instability and death.
Has anyone had pain/tightness behind their knee while on recovery? I was not dx with a DVT (or as the Doppler done in hospital on march 25 showed no DVT) so not sure why this pain has started.
I've been somewhat bed bound the last few days aside from gettin up to use the bathroom or get water to drink. This started Friday morning after spending majority of thursday in bed. Even sitting in my truck I can feel slight pressure/ discomfort behind the knee. With it being the weekend I can't reach my dr for advice. Is a visit to a walk in or the er needed for this pain?

Nationalday.com proclaims September 28th as Self Aware Day. I took a few snaps of various core values lists and tried to pick my top five core values (kinda hard to only pick 5). But here are my top picks. Feel free to list a few of yours too:GodLovePeaceStability Compassion

Now that I am not talking to my whatever best friend, I realized that her life is full of drama. I had grown tired of hearing her stories about her boyfriend many months ago. She basically had been monopolizing conversations for that long too. She pretty much stopped asking me questions about me. I passed her in front of her classroom the other day and didn't even look at her. I am...
I have two fairly large popliteal (Baker's) cysts behind each knee and have had them for many years, way before PE. They've never caused me any pain although Mayo Clinic says pain can be there.
My podiatrist takes a fairly benign attitude about them and says that usually they're not operated on because of all nerves/muscles in that area.
Do you have a swelling behind the knee(s)? I do---- and it grew slowly over the years then seemed to stop growing---- but no pain.
Ask your doctor, of course, since you have pain.
I DO know that it started to hurt/feel weird more when I became more active again.
I agree that if you're worried, get it checked out. :)
