Gained so much weight earlier this year and became very inactive. And then I was diagnosed with DVT last September. I was so scared because it was very hard to walk/stand and I am working abroad and living alone. I'm on blood thinner right now, but I hope that I could walk and move around like I did before. I wanna go back to my passion (dancing) and start again. I hope it's not too late. Praying for everyone's recovery here. We can do this!

I had two pulmonary embolisms .I am so glad to have this second chance at life.I do have faktor 5 leiden and have to take blood thinners .that is nothing compared to death.THANK YOU GOD FOR MY EXTRA TIME TO ENJOY MY GRAND CHILDREN +I am only 48 { RAY}

My partner is in the hospital now. Had surgery and will need rehab to help him walk. I told him to drink water lots of it. Praying for his recovery.

My 94 years old father has non-occlusive thrombus in the left common femoral and the left external iliac for the last few months and has been on warfarin. The initial dosage shot his INR to 4.1 and reduced Warfarin dropped the INR to 2.3. He has excruciating pain in the leg and the only painkiller (Panadol) has been prescribed doesn't help much. The doctor tells us the pain will go away slowly. Is there anything else out there that would help with his pain. Many thanks in advance.

I've had two episodes of PE's. First set when I was 25 with multiples in both lungs. Mine started with pain & swelling in my shins. My neurologist didn't like what he saw during my follow up with him for another issue so he sent me down for blood work & evaluation in the ER. The D-Dimer came back showing clotting & then the cat scan that followed showed multiples in both lungs. I was in for almost 2 weeks. Then 7 years later I had pneumonia & PE's in both lungs. So much fun once again 😂 my hematologist who is now my oncologist just lovesssss me 😂 and I'm now only 34!! Gotta love it!

Sadly my Dad passed away from this. The Doctors thought it was asthma

God bless you nice man

If this isn't a major warning to walk around at regular intervals (if possible), I don't know what is. I was unaware of the lack of hydration risk factor, so that, too. I'm glad Amir is ok so his pretty daughter and wife have him in their life for many decades to come.

If you have DVTs, I had them + PEs. If you can get in a swimming pool if your having trouble walking 🚶‍♀️. This has helped me a lot. Thanks for the video.

At 19 I had dvt in both legs due to overdosing on heroin after being clean a long time and relapsing my first time, almost killed me. Sadly my own mother and her friends left me in the mini van where I took the drugs and overdosed. I fell backwards ontop of my legs laying on them in a very awkward and probably painful position , and woke up the next day in a hotel room and couldn’t feel the floor with my feet. Fell back asleep and woke up later with my legs the size of a 500 lb obese persons leg. Went to the er and they said I had blood clots and dead muscles in my legs. They removed both of my calf muscles and had to put in wound vacs to help them heal. Worst pain and experience of my life.

Had DVT a year ago with no known concrete cause. Didn't realize how risky DVT is and could have progressed to PE and could have died. I was only 31 y/o.

After years and years and years of my dad smoking he just had a stroke last month and a few days ago he had a pulmonary embolism witch took his life but he never been to a hospital for 30 years before the stroke

I'm writing this for the next patient searching for answers. I'm not a surgeon, a doctor or a radiologist.

I'm now taking Xarelto. It thins my blood the best.

I had a DVT at 23, now less than 4 years later, I have another one. I am active, do not smoke etc., ...

He looks like I feel. I wish I'd realised this ages ago. My activities profile is very inactive AND I've had major spinal surgery AND the pain is half way up my calf. 😨 I'm making an appointment with the doctor...
