Blood Clots - Connected with PMR?

As promised, this is an update to my post above about discovering blood clots in both my lungs back on December 6, 2021. I’ve been on blood thinners for about two months and recently had another CT scan above my lungs and fortunately there was no sign of blood clots. Apparently the medication worked and they dissolved. I also got the results of blood work done by my hematologist who showed everything was normal. She therefore attributes the blood clots in my lungs to a long car ride I took 20 end of November even though I was careful to stand and walk every couple of hours on the trip. I asked her again whether she thought the blood clots had anything to do with my PMR and she said she didn’t think so. My first post was an error it should’ve said she thought it was unlikely that the blood clots while related to PMR. So that’s good news. All the best to you in your recovery.

I'm so glad you're feeling better. Maybe not PMR, but vaccine related? Just a thought.

Christopher, I appreciate your posting an update to tell us that the blood clots dissolved! Phew. And for clarifying that the blood clots were unrelated to PMR.

Are you able to go off blood thinners now or do you have to continue taking them?
