Does anyone know about superficial blood clots?

Did they do an ultrasound on these clots?  Sounds like they may not be so superficial anymore and time to go to back to the ER especially since there are more clots.\n\nMy DVTs never swelled up.  Just a cramp and it hurt.  I have a mess of clotting disorders.\n\nBut sounds like you need to go back in.  \n\nAspirin does nothing for venous clotting anyhow.  It is an antiplatelet.  Coumadin is an anticoagulant, takes care of venous clotting and is known as "blood thinner".  The nurse above should know that.

Blood from damaged blood vessels deep beneath the skin collects near the surface of the skin resulting in what we think of as a black and blue mark.\n\nUnexplained bruises that occur easily or for no apparent reason may indicate a bleeding disorder, especially if the bruising is accompanied by frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums.\n\nBruises in elderly people frequently occur because their skin has become thinner with age. The tissues that support the underlying blood vessels have become more fragile.\n\nInitially, a fresh bruise may actually be reddish. It will then turn blue or dark purple within a few hours, then yellow or green after a few days as it heals.\n\nCall the doctor if a bruise does not improve within 2 weeks or fails to completely clear after 3 or 4 weeks.  You could have a serious medical condition.

Maybe blood clots. Or something just as serious. Maybe just working out too much or over use? See your doc if it keeps up.

Your mother should be very careful with this.  She possibly may need to go on to medication.  My mother (who is overweight) always experienced blood clots in her legs.  She would treat them as they came/went (with heat and massage) until one traveled up her leg, into her heart (where it loged itself) and pieces began breaking off...one to her brain causing a stroke and one to her lung.  She now take warafin (blood thinners) and is going for weight loss surgery so she won't have to take them anymore.  There is a definite relation between weight and the occurance of clots.\nPlease get your mom to go to her MD...prevention is the best medicine!!  Let me tell you...teaching my mom the alphabet, how to read and write (after the stroke) was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Several blood clots in both lungs is a serous condition. It can cause pulmonary embolism. There is medicine called anticoagulant (heparin) to dissolved the clot. Few other medicine are also available to dissolve the clot. You need to check website of Medscape.com and check for blood clot. It is not always fatal but it is very serious condition. I am sure you will get enough information on medscape. Hope you will feel better with my answer.

Deep vein Thrombosis is characterized by pain with heat and redness at the area of pain.  So it doesn't sound like that is what you describe.  I would agree that the simplest diagnosis is potassium deficiency.  Which as the other person told you can be cured by eating a banana.  If this doesn't help it withing 30 minutes or so I would take a look at your physical activity.  Is there something that isolates this particular muscle group?  If not see your Dr and let them assess you.

It is a genetically inherited syndrome where abnormal antibodies are formed in the blood which predispose to clots forming in the blood vessels (thromboses). If that occurs treatment is usually life long with a medication to thin the blood to prevent clots, usually warfarin.

I know in some women, like my sister in law, BC causes blood clots in their legs.  Also if you smoke, this risk and the risk of heart problems is greatly increased.  I was on the patch (am currently trying for #2) and had no adverse reactions, no mood swings and I actually has lighter periods that lasted for less time and less cramping.

Since you've been fine up until now and the situation has persisted for a week you really should see a doctor about this.  The tingling makes me think something's causing circulation problems in your legs. On the plus side, your symptoms do *not* match having a blood clot in your leg.

When I was an MLT student, I witnessed an autopsy of a patient who died because of a lung embolism. The clot was surprisingly small. It was only about 4mm across.

It may be possible.  Generally miscarriages are identified by the type of material that is passed with the bleeding.  There are generally larger than normal clots (about size of silver dollar) and sometimes grayish matter as well.  If you are concerned, you may want to see a Dr. as miscarriages that don't fully pass can cause infections, etc. in the womb.

The brownish-black blood is just blood that has already clotted.  It's the same as a normal period.

The following information I have obtained for you. \nIf the blood clot is in an artery, it may cause sudden pain, and selling a a slight blue cloration. However if it is in a vein, it may cause selling and tenderness.\n\nSymptoms and Complication:  Inflammation in superifical or surface veins-such as those used to insert IV lines in the arm or to draw blood-produces pain and discomfort but is isn't considered serious.  blood clots that form in superifical veins rarely break loose and travel in the blood to cause blockage (inplaces such as the lung) and complications.\nCauses: A variety of things can cause inflammation of a superificial vein One common cause is due to to trauma or injury,for example from intravenous (IV) catheters or solution and medications used in hospital that pierce the vein wall and cause irritation.  Any blow to a vein (like a blow or injury from a car accident) will trigger a local inflammatory reaction that leads to pain, discomfort, redness, and swelling. During this process, there's an increase blow of blood to the injured area, and a blood clot often forms in the inflamed or injured area of the vein.\nThis is generalized information for you and maybe it will help you to understand about blood clots.  However my bottom line is that you shoud see your Primary Physician as soon as possble so that he can make Logical decision as what to do for your situation. Best of luck.
