Deep Vein thrombosis and Dh

[codswallop]

Dh returned from SA this am on an overnight flight and had a sore calf. went to gp then to a and e at around 12 today and is STILL waiting fro an ultrasound - he has to wait for all tHe out patients (pg muMS ETC) TO FINISH...

bloody hell. he may have a clot and has had recent knee surgery that puts him at an increased risk.

Oh coddy, how frightening. Hope is is all ok

I do too. bloody life assuranc e not up to date, (gallows humour I am afrid)

BTw when I was having scans mine were always late because of non pg people.

Hope he is okay coddy, I assume hes had the scan by now..........?

was he wearing flight socks?
and does he travel regularly?my dh mothers husband (2nd) got it and but is absolutely fine now, he hAD to stay in hospital in spain where it happened and is now on warfarin everyday, he smokes! and had driven from UK to spain non stop practically.

i had phlebitus , 1st cousin, from standing at my work.

he has done the right thing by going straight away and should get a 2nd opinion after the NEGATIVE results come though

Hope all is well cods - bit scary for you.

Thinking of you

Coddy any news?

Coddy, Post when you can, worried about you and DH. I guess the pressure of the flight must have brought it on? How is your dizziness?

ok cod family health update.

after kicking up a HUGE fuss dh was pronounced 95% unlikely to have one.Has to take aspirin for 2 weeks.
My vertigo is going. only when I found myself at the top of a helter skelter at our local fair last night did this occur to me!!

ds3 coughing for Britain

thanks all for your enquiries _ I must admit it was very scary, specially when thay wouldnt see him Blinking NHS

Phew!

you are so sweet

I'm glad he's ok, Coddy. I know a few people who've had dvt and it's a pita, what with continual blood tests and so on. I'm pleased your dizziness is going, too!
