I just can't seem to catch a break these days. :(
Anybody have any experience with this? Nothing seems to be helping with the pain because I just can't take any more Motrin. My poor tummy is aching.

Hi Elizabeth! Where is your clot? If it is in your leg, you need to stay off of it as much as possible and you can use a support stocking or ace wrap to help. I hope you have seen a physician, these can be serious. Remember to take ibuprofen with food to help your tummy.

It was in my ankle, but moved to my thigh. I saw my regular doctor and Friday, and he told me it was chaffing, which I knew it wasn't. I know I'm not a doctor, but I'm no fool. Yesterday the pain was so bad I went to the after hours clinic, and they did an ultrasound to confirm it, and there it was, a clot. So they put me on anticoagulant meds. I didn't know if I should be relaxing or tryig to walk it off. Thanks for your help!

Hi, Elizabeth...just checking in on how you are doing? And to hope that your clot has dissolved without moving any further up - they can move to your lung or heart and be extremely dangerous. Hope you are doing well....

Thanks for checking Starletta! I finally starting feeling a little better last weekend. My sister was in town and we had a girls weekends, just bumming around. The swelling has almost gone away. Still a little tender but nothing comapred to what it was!
