anyone ever have blood clots

I just found out I had them in my legs and a small one in my lungs, have to see a vascular doctor next WK,I'm on blood thinners, told my new doctor about it and showed him my swollen legs and I got sent to the ER, just wondered am I going to get stuck with surgery? I'd rather not

I just had one Stent and arterial bypass surgery on my right leg. The Stent wasn't a big deal, but the arterial bypass was rough. It took 2 months for the pain to go away. They don't tell you how invasive the surgery is. The damage to muscles and nerves. I will say my leg and foot are no longer swollen and I walk much better. I guess it's worth it as the option was losing my foot

There are more options before to explore first. Beside blood thinners, clot busters or possibly a filter. It’s kind of common at our age so don’t panic.

Blood clots are nothing to play around with. If you have a swollen leg from a clot, do whatever is needed to remedy that.

Good Luck.

No but blood clots are serious business. Hope all turns out ok.

Lord, please help Pearl and dissolve these clots in Jesus name.

Ephesians 3:20
King James Version
20 Now ***unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, ***according to the power that worketh in us,

I believe him for this Pearl!
