DVT (deep vein thrombosis) prevention and treatment

Posted by theswede1387 @theswede1387, Sep 6, 2022

I’ve had 2 dvt’s this year, one recently when I had Covid for the first time. I am 73 years old. My Dr. Is suggesting a long term blood thinner. Is anyone trying to prevent a Dvt this way.

My 71 yr. old husband for the first time had DVT two times in 6 months. The doctor put him on Eliquis and they disappeared on their own...good luck !

Any side effects from the Eliquis. Since being on Eliquis for four months for right leg DVT, I’ve started experiencing tingling sensations in both legs. About to be referred to neurology. Thanks
