I recently was diagnosed July 28 with a long blood clot in my femoral artery from groin to foot in all my 4 pop lien veins
Baylor scott and white kept me 3 days with lovanox shots in my stomach and a heparin drip they sent me home with Eliquis blood thinners and said it would have to absorb 3 to 6 months.
It happened from a tibia plateau fracture I had in July. The clot is in my left leg and doctor in hospital said there are a lot of complications to go in and remove it. But everyone is telling me this is a death sentence but my doctor said it’s a very dangerous surgery so I’m just confused and don’t know if I should go to a vein doctor specialist. The hospital said if it’s still there in 6 months they will send me then to a specialist. What should I do.
