ShantelleElaine 39 Posted August 20, 2013 Well long story short, got lap bad surgery, got blood clots in leg and lungs, ICU visit, blood thinners.. Second hospital visit had to be rushed to a city hospital, all the clots still there all worsened, created more clots in my leg while on blood thinners.. Now being checked for cancer, clotting disorders, etc.. Question is... Anyone have a fill while on blood thinners? Massive amounts of blood thinner injections I give myself twice a day I'm not talking pills or nothing. My surgeon says he will not give me fill while on the thinners for obvious bleeding reasons... But if I have to be on them forever if I have a clotting disorder then I never get a fill... I don't want one now but what if I do then this was kinda pointless. I know many can lose the weight without a fill but I may want one sometime I mean that is the idea.... Just wondered if anyone has had uncomplicated fills while on blood thinner, specifically lovenox injections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShantelleElaine 39 Posted August 20, 2013 And not to mention NO excersise allowed due to all the clots in my leg so another strike against me! Frustrating... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted August 20, 2013 I haven't had a fill since going on blood thinners, but I was told it was no different or risky than having my weekly blood draws. If I need a fill, I can get one, regardless of the blood thinners. I was on Lovanox for about week after getting out of the ICU for blood clots but once my INR was high enough I switched to just Coumadin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShantelleElaine 39 Posted August 20, 2013 Yea the orals didn't work for me now il be on injections until further notice. I guess if I beg him he may let me, we will cross that bridge when we get there I guess cuz I don't really need a fill yet just thinking ahead... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
