- I was sick back to back and my INR jumped from 2.1 to 5.5, the pharmacist adjusted my dose and I returned in a week to 4.6, another adjustment and I retuned 10 days later and now 3.9 so we are doing yet another adjustment. I just assumed it was...
- For the past 6 weeks or so my feet have been hurting so bad I have a hard time walking. I can hardly walk in the morning because they hurt so bad and recently started to burn. It is mainly in my heels. I have tried massages and stretches but have...
- How likely is it for a clot to form in the lower arm? What I thought was an overused and overworked arm has become a concern after two weeks. I do have lymphedema, which is arm swelling due to node removal. However there is no sign of cellulitis....
- Are they safe to use when on blood thinners?
- I am new to this board but have been lurking for a few days. I belong to another board here as well (pulmonary embolism). Any way I find myself in an odd situation. My old doctor said I was a diabetic, gave me a poor copy of a 1200 calories diet...
- My husband was scratching my back tonight and asked me where a very large (about 2 inched by 4 inches) fresh looking bruise came from. I remember scratching my arm but not bumping my back. Should I be concerned?
- I am sitting here waiting to have a CT in a few hours to check for another possible PE. It all started Tuesday with a pretty severe pain on my right side that went from back to arm to chest. It was pretty bad pain that lasted a good 15 minutes. Any...
- We finally decided to get a Keuric Coffee Machine. Since I don't drink coffee (dh and dd do) I thought I would try both the Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate and the Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time Tea. Well I tried a cup of the tea on Sunday and it was...
- My INR is down from 2.3 to 1.4. Now I have had a couple changes lately. I started taking new meds and lost about 15 or so pounds. I recently changed doctors and they sent me to have an actual blood draw vs the finger stick. I am going to request...
- I don't post much at all but with the stress today I feel I need to. I am recovering from surgery from 2.5 weeks ago. I am okay but not back to normal of course . Can't lift or carry heavy items yet which is not sitting well with the family. Any...
- I am having surgery Monday July 2. My GP had me stop warfarin and start lovenox 3 days ago. He wants my INR to be around 1.2. Had it checked today and it was 2.1 - it was 2.9 ten days ago. I go back to have it checked bright and early Monday. He...
- So my surgery was last Wednesday. The doctors did not feel a need to check blood levels. Surgery went well but of course there was a pretty good deal of pain. I came home with beautiful compression stockings to wear for 48 hours and was showed a...
- So last weekend my fil suffered a stroke. He did not know that is what was going on because he refused to go to the ER on a Saturday. His vision was blurry, he was dizzy and had a headache. On the following Monday he was to have surgery on his hand...
- I am using Lovenox to bridge because I am having surgery on Wednesday. So I called my doctors office today to see what my last INR was. After hearing it was 1.6 I was concerned, this was an actual blood draw instead of the finger stick I usually...
- I have needed to do this once when I had a colonoscopy. This time is for out patient surgery to complete my reconstruction I started about seven or eight years ago. I was nearing the end and actually thought I was done three years ago just before...
