Not an ilingual hernia but a blood clot?
Posted , 2 users are following.
I finally got an ultrasound (4 month wait) for what definitly seemed to be a ilingual hernia. After suffering the pain and aching of this, not to mention the uncomfortable bulge that seemed to come and go several times a day, I was happy to finally be getting the results of my ultrasound today. So my doctor told me there doesn't seem to be any noticeable hernia but a blood clot in that same area, possibly caused from a torn muscle. The blood clot is big enough to be felt, even when the ultrasound tech would pass over it. My doctor said I could wait for an MRI (takes about a year) or go ahead with the wait of a consult with a surgeon. So I chose surgeon. So here I wait.... with no answers. I was not told if this could be serious or not. Should I be concerned? Is this considered a deep vein thrombosis?

Well the doctors don't seem very concerned about it, when I had my clot I was admitted to hospital and had the MRI within hours. I was in hospital two,weeks. You say the clot is big enough to be felt but it sounds very small, my clot was from the back of my knee, up the back on my thigh, through my groin and then all across my abdomen. Are you on any blood thinners? I had them by injection first and now I take them orally for life. You would normally be on them were it a clot. I would go back and ask you doctor for clarification.
