Oh my goodness, I'm so glad that you thought to visit the surgeon's office. I hope it all gets better really soon. I didn't realize blood clots could happen from riding in the car long distances...thank you for sharing.

I hear you on this week ending. I took a mental health day on Tuesday (I knew I was about to fall apart), had the day off Wednesday for a follow-up appointment, and ended up having a breakdown at work around 2 pm today, just finally made it home. Just one more day!!!

Girl - thank goodness it was not life-threatening! I am so glad you shared. I also did not even think about taking breaks from driving...Good advice!

Hope all is well SOON!

Thank you both. I followed up with my PCM yesterday afternoon. He agrees that it was probably a clot, and is now being reabsorbed into my body. I have some compression hose that I wore when I was hospitalized so I plan on taking them on our next road trip.

I am feeling much better today. It still hurts, but not as badly. John is practically treating me like an invalid, and doesn't want me doing anything. Least to say, we've been butting heads the last couple of days. I know it's out of concern, but it's driving me crazy.

My PCM gave me percocet for pain, I've only had to take a couple of them. Thank goodness because I hate taking pain pills.

I'm so glad, thank you for updating us!

I will pray for you glad all things are going well now and we all learn from each other

I am glad you looked into the possibility of a deep clot in your leg. That is dangerous but it sounds like you had a superficial clot which is also painful. The test was negative for a dvt but should have found the superficial diagnosis. Anyway treatment was good and glad you are on the mend.

Im glad to hear that you found out really what it was? You are looking really good...
