Thanks.

I'm currently on 9.5 mg of Warfarin. I wear compression stockings. I would use the pneumatic compression gizmo if it weren't so expensive. I have filters in both my Superior & Inferior Vena Cava. Originally I thought I could never have another clot once on Warfarin. My doctor tells me it is still possible. I may have to give him a call...much as I don't want to...because I am having some pain by my right collar bone.

My first pulmonary embolism came from a clot that migrated from my leg. It was the first instance I had of blood clotting. There was pain high in my right shoulder when I laid on my right side. Kinda like a stitch in the side that running can sometimes cause. This pain is sharper, and has been occurring off-and-on since getting up this morning.

Far as I know, treating a blot clot is done with blood thinners. I'm already taking one, so if I should get another clot, how would it be treated?

BTW, clots are sometimes treated by a 48 hour high dose of blood thinners. Forget the name the doctor called it. In my case that was impossible since the second time I was on a blood thinner I wound up with a subdural hematoma. From then until the last clot, I had to let Mother Nature take her own course. I didn't know it until my last doctor appointment, but apparently I almost lost the leg. At least that is what my doctor told his new PA. They neglected to mention it to me in the hospital. They did operate which I found out later is very rare. The decision to put me on a blood thinner was a chance the doctors decide had to be taken.
