Prayers sent for your situation. Not meaning to hijack thread but am currently under treatment for same problem and wish to advise readers of symptoms of blood clots. In my case, my DVT(deep vein thrombosis) was "provoked" by surgery following an on the job injury. I was hurt on 2-21 while out on an occupied stolen vehicle, tearing my right knee patella out. I had surgery on 2-22. My entire leg was immobilized in a brace. About 14 days ago, I started having severe pain in my right leg, down the inside, by the knee and into the calf. I ignored it for a day. It grew worse and within a day I could not stand up on crutches for more than several minutes. I went on line and pretty well figured I had a clot. I got into the hospital where it was diagnosed with ultra-sound. The blockage ran down the femoral artery from below my groin to mid-calf. I did not know blockages could be that long.
I spent three days in the hospital with IV blood thinners. I made good progress and will be on oral blood thinners for months while my body absorbs this blockage. The pain from the clot surpassed that of the injury and the surgery. If you have surgery or an injury and have an immobilized limb, pay close attention. If you have pain, discoloration(entire limb reddening), swelling, see a doctor immediately.
Blood clots are actually pretty common. They happen to all ages and according to the internal medicine doctors that treated me, there isn't a set pattern to a provoked DVT other than lack of mobility(a cast or brace on a limb). You have to be on guard. When I'm recovered, I know I'm going to take more frequent stops driving and riding. I'm going to get my lower body moving regularly.
Best wishes to all who have dealt with these potentially deadly things.
