It's been over 2 weeks started th have pain in the left leg. Pain actually started a week ago, but I have a high tolerance for pain and just kept on thinking it would go away.....Finally went to dr's she ran blood test because she was suspicious of me having blood clot started me on blood thinners called Eloquist. Side effect of blood thinner is bleeding. Two days pass I go in for Ultrasound of left leg no blood clot there which indicates blood clot is in my chest. Thank god on blood thinners. Going for CT scan today... Keep you posted other than that recovery going really well!

      Hi Creedes,

      How are you doing? Did they find a clot in your ct scan?

      No the doctor did talk about the blood test which is normally the first thing to do prior to a scan but they said that the blood test cannot always be reliable because blot clot fragments can increase after an operation so it can give a raised reading. They decided to send me for an ultrasound straight away.

      Hope everything is ok with you, keep us posted. Big hugs x

      Oh god really?! Why now and not during the previous op? Is this connected to the blood clot?

      I'm so sorry to hear that and I'm not surprised your exhausted and no doubt very worried about it all. Will they be operating soon or do you have to wait a while?

      Sending you a big hug mrs....x

      Wow really..,Shocking for you! So do you have this in addition to the blood clot? I cannot believe it. Have you been in pain then or did they just see this when they scanned you?

      Am so sorry to hear this is happening to you after your op. X

      Well, if the cyst has grown that fast it is cause for concern...are they going to call you? 

      I think that it is good that it has been found though!  I guess that's one way to look at it!
