Can you tell me about any doctors who can prescribe Vicodin
Weather says we are getting our first snow tonight. Oh my goodness, I'm not ready for that. It did say we will warm up again over the weekend, but this is way too early for our first snow, that's due the first of October. Weather can trigger pain for me, which explains why I feel crummy this morning. I had to cancel plans with my disabled friend for today, once again I disappoint someone.
It's totally unfair that along with my other problems, I have to deal with this blood clot. I try to follow doctors orders, food, exercise, medications, etc.!! They said I did nothing to cause this blood clot, it just happens to people. OK, but why did it have to happen to me? That sounds very childish, doesn't it? The leafy green vegetables contain vitamin K and other vitamins that can cause your blood to be thicker, I was always told that all the leafy greens were the "good" part of my diet!! OK, I'm done sounding like a 3 year old LOL
Anyone know anything about blood clots? First of June I started with pain in my calf that I thought was a pulled muscle which got bad enough that I couldn't walk. Turned out I had developed "acute occlusive DVT right common femoral vein through to the right popliteal vein. Thrombosis extends to involve the deep veins of the calf" is what the ultrasound says. In other words, all clotted up from the bottom of my calf to over mid way up my thigh, heck of a clot!! They gave me a series of "self" shots and Warfarin to thin my blood. I started at a 1.1 and the goal was to reach 2.5 to 3.0. For some reason my body reacted slowly to the medications, so I had to do a second series of shots. Anyway by July I was in the goal zone. It was explained to me that the medication doesn't dissolve the blood clot, it thins the blood and the body then dissolves the blood clot. I received all the warnings about how dangerous blood clots are and how they can move to your lungs, heart, or brain with can result in death. Anyway, as I am in the "goal zone", I thought everything was doing OK. I have been religious with going to the doctor office every week, to get my INR. Week or so ago I started having a "funny" feeling in my thigh and now I have a series of penny sized bruises in a line on my thigh, with no injury to my thigh. Couple days ago I started having the "funny" feeling in my upper calf along with my thigh, the feeling that I had just prior to having the pain that caused me to seek treatment in June. Yesterday I made an appointment, first opening is Monday.
Anyone have any idea what could be going on with my leg and this blood clot? How long does it take for the body to dissolve it? I was told sometimes up to six months, but as it's been four months, I thought it would be getting better. You know I'm going to "stress" myself until I see a doctor on Monday LOL.
pccarl, Celebrex sucks!! Seriously, read some of the side effects, and it didn't do a thing for pain. I believe it's one of the designer drugs that wasn't even developed for pain, that now they are pushing off as a pain reliever, because they couldn't sell it for it's original use. It amazes me that they develop a "designer drug" for a particular use, it doesn't work, or it doesn't sell and then they are allowed by the FDA to remarket for a different use.
NJShore, Karen, Hope you two got some relief from pain and got some rest. The day after a bad night, is worse than a hangover LOL. The hard part is that you still have a family and a life that needs your attention, the pain fatigues you and then when you're fatigued, the pain is worse. Pleasant circle Right?
Thank you Karen so much ...your compassion and caring words
