I found out in the ER last wednesday that i have a blood clot behind my right knee. I went to the ER because i couldnt walk and the pain was making me physicaly sick. I am now taking 2 shots a day at home of Lovenox (which sucks!) and having to go to the hospital almost every day to get my blood checked to get me at the right INR level and then wait for the doctors office to call to tell me how much Coumadin to take. Its been 6 days and im not even close to the right level and im so uncomfortable, wiped out and in pain.
Has anyone ever delt with a blood clot? How long did it take for the pain and discomfort to go away? I know its different for everyone when it comes to the INR level but i dont know what to expect and would love to hear about others experiance with this, this is a whole new experiance for me...one that i could have done without
