@leeman25 so what did the surgeon say about your symptoms?
@jenatsky
Post-MRI last Friday that the bleeding would eventually be absorbed by my body...and the pain will likely subside, if it doesn't coagulate into a clot and obstruct a nerve exit.. I've stopped the Eliquis until this completely resolves. I'll see in 2 days what else I learn. This is part of the risk with back surgery; but I -place the cause of this to be too liberal a prescription for blood thinner from one of my other providers. Not every patient is a suitable candidate unless the indications are clear and absolutely necessary, and only for as long as anti-coagulation therapy is needed.
@leeman25 it the alternative to no blood thinner is much worse. Heal well my friend.
I had the laminectomy disectomy procedure a couple months ago. Right leg became extremely weak and now I cannot walk and am afraid to try. I realized that it was a serious surgery and sometimes complications are expected, but I had no idea this was going to be part of or one of the complications.
