DVT

[laneylaney]

Hi i have been diagnosed last week with a clot in my leg. I am taking blood thinning injctions twice daily and am 13 weeks pregnant.

The thing is I can still feel strange sensations in my legs 24/7. This sensations are making me extremely paranoid. The feeling range from trickles to twitches and I am wearing special socks but i thought the blood thinning injections would take away the strange feelings.

I get a mild aches in my chest now and then but think its just my anxiety over the situation.

Has anyone else had the same problem??

Not personally. Didnt want to read and run.

It takes awhile for the blood thinners to do their job. So sorry you have to go thru this. ..

I've had two DVTs, one during pregnancy and one not. I still get phantom leg pains and have poor circulation as a result of the clots.

How long have you been on blood thinners? I can only speak for myself but with my clots the pain went away within days of starting injections but the twitches and stuff never really went away.

As for chest pain, when dealing with DVTs it is always better to err on the side of caution and go see your doctor. Probably just anxiety but it is better to be safe and have your doctor listen to your lungs and go from there.

Good luck with your pregnancy! Hope this is the only bump on the road for you!
