Hey gang! My right calf and foot have been swollen and numb feeling (I have
great sensation in whole body). So Tuesday I was able to see my rehab doc, he
thought the symptoms showed a DVT. I couldnt think of why I would have one. So
the Wednesday I went to get ultrasound. Yep, the front left vein has a clot.
They wouldn't let me leave the hospital until the doctors had a plan. So I'm on
5mg Coumadin a day and a shot of Enoxaparin Sodium every 12 hours.
Yesterday when I was getting up I looked down at my right chin, i remembered a
scab that I've had a while and it dawned on me...on May 7th I went to the
dentist and while under nitrous and my hand control turned to the side, I
decided to reaarange my chair. In doing so I rammed my leg into a table. Thank
goodness I had on jeans and a blanket because it scraped my leg to chin bone.
It never dawned on me i could have given myself a DVT. Yet when I look at the
now scar and where my sensation starts changing it's the same area.
Now I've got to watch out more closely!! Anyone else ever have one? How long
was treatment?
