Recent ct scan has caused a clot
A recent ct scan a couple of weeks ago has caused a blood clot in the vein in my arm. Now injecting cloxane twice daily. Anyone else had this and how long on injections. From memory I think @melclarity had this happen.

I was a bit the same. It's not like you can help it. "Um, unseen to have a lump in my leg, it's really sore' 'Oh, you have a DVT, chemo does that to some people. Here, have some Warfarin,' One thing after an other. - LMK74MemberThanks molly.
- Molly001Member@LMK74 I'm glad you're onto it now though. Hope it dissapates quickly.
- LMK74Member@Molly001, lol I nearly didn't mention it to my rads oncologist. My arm had been sore for over a week and then I could actually feel the raised vein. Ultrasound yesterday revealed a 7cm clot right above the elbow crease.
- Molly001MemberOh no @LMK74 how's your luck?!!??!
- melclarityMemberI would think not too long as i think clexane would work quicker than Xarelto. I hope so! Not pleasant but you should be ok now that they're onto it. Xx
- LMK74MemberThanks @melclarity, hopefully I won't have to be stabbing myself for long lol.
- melclarityMemberHey @LMK74 ohhh i was in so much pain. I was put on Xarelto for about 2 weeks it slowly dissipated. X
