Lemme work dat blood clot out.

2/25/2008 12:54:53 PM

not really. i've been ignoring it for a week. hypos would have jumped on it on day 1.

i'm just painfully aware of possibilities due to my physiology co-major.

make sure your leg doesn't start to turn colors

and that it retains neuromuscular function

yo the technical name is like deep vein thrombosis or something like that...sounds kinda kinky if you ax me

it's a weird painful sensation in the skin at the top of the thigh, just below the pelvic bone. thought it was sore from my jeans, so i've stayed in pajamas except to leave the house. hasn't helped. still painful to the touch. tried to stretch last night to see if it was from sitting on my ass writing for the last month (and not exercising) and now it hurts several times worse. so now i have this aching/burning pain on my thigh

if it was indeed a thrombus it's most likely not going to lodge anywhere in your upper thigh unless it's in a surface capillary or something

the vessels are too big

plus it would have pretty much killed your leg if it's been going on for a week.

you most likely bruised some shit or something

blood clots dont go THAT asymptomatic for that long normally

that's why i ignored it for so long

no idea how i fucked it up though

[Edited on February 25, 2008 at 1:03 PM. Reason : i normally bruise like a tomato... wonder why there's no color change]

if you're really worried go take like 324mg asa

won't do any harm.

[Edited on February 25, 2008 at 1:03 PM. Reason : if you're REALLY worried, go to the doctor]

odd

2/25/2008 1:04:53 PM

the only reason i worry is because i'm on BC (risk of clots) and i have pretty shitty circulation.

called the dr to at least ask what they thought, but when they put me through to the nurse no one answered. left a message, can't been seen till at least wednesday.

don't want to go to student health because they've never been very good at helping me. once they left mono undiagnosed for over a month and it got so bad my liver got fucked up

pain's worse and i can't get any nurse at my place to call me back, and the urgent care won't talk to me unless i come in. guess i'm going to campus
