pdog 51 Posted October 21, 2012 I had to do it for 2 wks, 14 shots. But I actually stopped on day 11. In the beginning I got used to them and they didn't hurt, but the last few I did were like the most painful thing. I think by then I was bruised and sore all over my abdomin. My husband gave them to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenrn 17 Posted October 21, 2012 The shots were given to you to either stop a blood clot from forming or dissolve one you already have. You should never stop taking them until you have completed what your Dr. has ordered. If you have or get a clot and it breaks loose in your blood stream it will either go to your heart and cause a Pulmonary Embolism that carries a 75 % death rate. Or it will go to your brain and cause you to ha e a Stroke. So please follow your Physicians order so you can live to enjoy your new life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
