[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 427068, member: 1233"] I am sorry it hurts so much. Please make SURE you have a list of the warning symptoms of blood clots written out and POSTEDd in several places. The bathroom mirror, next to your bed, by your computer - places where you will see them daily. If you start to have problems they can go in and put a little screen in the major blood vessels so that clots cannot get to the rest of your body. I know several people who ended up with those screens. You may want to see if you can find someone to do accupuncture. I have an aunt who says it helped her more than almost anything else when she had lymphedema in her legs. A tens machine might also be helpful - check with the docs about that. It is a little gizmo that hooks up to leads and sends a mild electric current through your muscles. The leads are like stickers and you put them around the muscles you want to treat. You adjust the current and it is wonderful with muscle problems. Insurance paid for mine but they sold the same thing at our county fair last year for two hundred bucks. I hope that you feel better soon and that this doesn't keep you from enjoying anything at all in life! [/QUOTE]
