Hi all,
I have blood clots on my left arm, 2 which I have had for years and have never went away, never used to cause me any problems.
for the last few months, I have now 2 more new blood clots on my left arm, and the ones that were there, now cause me pain, I let my gp know about it, and she has referred me to the Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery Out Patient Clinic.
today I was talking to my inr nurse, she was telling me they will probably remove them by an operation, take me off warfarin, put me on injections. this is what they might do. I let you know if they decide to do this.
my gp and I talked about coming of warfarin and going on the injections for life, though I know can not be on the injections for life, because what they do to your body. my gp says we will need to wait and see what the consutltant says at the clinic.
right now, I'm on a 10 week waiting list to be seen, I will let you know when my appointment comes through, just wanted to let you know, that I have new clots. they are not desolving at all.
I may not need to wait 10 week waiting time. I hope and pray that I dont have to wait so long for an appointment.
