@BobandBrad 1 week back I had got clot while doing reverse lounge exercise after jogging for 10 mins and sprinting for 20 seconds.. I didn’t realise it was so severe. I heard a popping sound and followed by muscle cramp. But next 2 days instead of taking good rest I walked a lot, 18000 steps a day which made the situation worse. The whole quadriceps area turned redish and now looks like some sort of blistering rashes. This brought me here. Could you please advice
I'm in pain
À cred@@jonbiggs3393
"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."
Sorry for that Bob, you always do a great job. Thank God they weren’t cancerous. 🍺🍺
Was he saying working with Brad would cause someone to want to drink? Oh poor Brad. 😂😂😂😂
Feel better Bob!😊
Glad you are ok. I think you talk just fine. I’m thankful you both care enough to make these videos. ❤
You guys didn't mention sciatica pain that may be traveling down the leg: but, you always make me smile. 😊
So happy we can make you smile!
Thank you for sharing, couple years ago my husband was only 36 and he had a blood clot, not to mention he has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, but the doctor said just to wear compression stockings, long long story short, he kept complaining about pain in his calf so he changed physicians, and he found the blood clot.
Thank God 🙏 now he's on a blood thinner, I'm guessing for the rest of his life!!
I 🙏 for all those in pain and ask for you to be healed in Jesus name
Amen ✨🤍🙏
God bless you
Meanwhile God is flooding the earth killing off everyone and giving kids cancer or allowing said son to die a horrible death on a torture device. Yeah go ahead and pray to him.
Amen
If God loves us so much why put us in pain to begin with? Why does he kill children? Why did you flood the earth and kill everyone.. sounds sadistic
It happened to me.
I died in the ambulance and 40 minutes of CPR is not fun to wake up from.
Full recovery. 👍
Welcome back 🥰
😳 glad they kept going!
Wow! You could have ended up with broken ribs…Glad you made it!
I have strong bones, but they separated my sternum from my ribs.
My sternum broke through my chest and I had a big hole in my skin.
The doctor said I was fighting them and multiple nurses had to restrain me.
I only remember waking up wondering why I was in a state of pain.
They gave me opioids for pain.
I can see how people get hooked on them.
Thankfully I didn’t get addicted.
It was a rough couple of months.
What were your symptoms ? Before you realized you had to get rushed to the hospital? And did you know it was due to a DVT? My husband recently passed away. Shortly after waking up one morning he got shortness of breath... trouble breathing and started sweating profusely. He collapsed at the hospital. They tried 3 times to revive him 💔💔
I just bought your blood pressure meter. It’s excellent. Thank you!
This was great, thorough advice. Thanks!
I truly enjoyed this video. They are personable, they don’t speak to slow or to fast and I was able to understand everything said. Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you guy, that’s great information.
Cheers!!!
Good summary! Thanks.
3 million!!! I’d say you likely ARE the two most famous. Thanks to the jingle/song for sure I doubt anyone would forget your names! ✨
Thanks for this
Thanks this is very informative! I came here because my mother in law has been in horrible pain for 3 days from her back thigh area. She went to the ER and they couldn’t find anything abnormal, they said it could be DVT and gave her pain killers and sent her home. Kind of upsetting that outcome but I believe in 🙏🏻. Keep up the good work guys!
How is she now?
@@jodyjae Since I wrote this 3 months ago, unfortunately my mother in law has gone downhill real fast and basically as of now, she´s knocking on deaths door. She had mild dementia back then and that plus a cancer diagnosis has taken it´s toll. So yes it was cancer that was causing horrible pain. Thanks Jody for your concern, I wish I had a better outcome.
@@stormwatchman6232 this is so sad, it being 3 months I was hoping for a more uplifting feedback I'm truly sorry.
@@jodyjae Thanks for your thoughts Jody, hoping and praying for peace in her heart.
You guys together are so helpful are such angels. Thanks so much. 🙏❤️🔥🙏❌⭕️❌⭕️
Thank you.
Our daughter, age 23, died after having a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot behind her knee breaking loose. It was a horrific experience and I wish I would have know more about what to look for as she had complained in the preceding days about pain in her legs after a long airline flight....Thanks for the info!
So very sorry💔🙏
My husband recently passed away, he canceled both leg scan appointments because the pain and swelling had gone away. By the time he was rushed to the hospital, it was too late!! 💔💔
Soo sorry to hear that
Really sorry 😔 for your loss
I'm so very sorry. I had two pulmonary embolism and I almost did not make it. After a long ICU stay I was disabled and ended my 37 year nursing career. I'm experiencing calf pain one leg and concerned it is a DVT as I'm now high risk for clots.
Ty for the infor 👏
Man these comments are depressing. Thanks for giving me anxiety?
😂😂😮
👍😏😝
thank you
Oh wow so I had a clot right above my knee in the back. I also had bilateral pulmonary embolisms. The only symptom was heavy breathing when walking up steps....until I coughed up a little blood. A year and a half later my right leg hurts and when the pain throbs my leg jerks. Going back to my PCP Saturday
THANK YOU
I woke up with a tight calf from probably a muscle tweak but still going to incorporate more movement into my day. Legs are too tight. Thanks guys
I have health anxiety and this has been one of my biggest fears for a couple of years so hopefully this video helps me some! Ps I'm pregnant so this is a huge concern for me currently
Me too. When I was pregnant it was a lot worse. I totally feel you.
Same!
Same goes for me... but I'm not pregnant. A quarter of my bodyweight is thanks to my grossly swollen legs, both, legs. I was diagnosed with Lymphoedema 2 years ago last month. I haven't been back to clinic since, because they sent me home with ill-fitting stockings and Diprobase lotion which I rub in several times per day to stop the skin drying out... which it did, because when I get legions, they won't heal over. I have an appointment next Tuesday 20 July 2021, no thanks to the pandemic world situation. I'm hoping they won't diagnose blood clots with me, because I have experienced a lot of stiffness and cramping and charlie horses where the knees lock with sudden movements in recent months. My ankles are very red and sore just at the point in my calves where the swelling starts.
Drink plenty water and move around as much as possible, my wife had the same anxiety while pregnant, it is very helpful for you and baby to relax your mind and think positive thoughts and your body and baby will respond in so well.. ❤️ all the best
Bless your heart! I have health anxiety as well and this is a huge one for me. I’m one year postpartum but have had increased calf pain on and off since having my baby and I always jump right to blood clot.
Broke my foot two weeks ago was in a boot for a week and had a bad pain in my calf. Was for sure it was just from the boot, finally went to the ER and they found a blood clot…please don’t take this lightly. Better to be safe than sorry, go get checked out
Love you guys.
It would be great if you had an Orthopaedic Surgeon come and answer questions about knee replacements and what to expect before, during, and after surgery. Also, any helpful tidbits that aren’t usually discussed. Thank you.
If you suspect a clot don't wear flight socks before your on the medication, don't massage it, don't walk or stand or sit for long periods or at all if possible. Keep your leg up as much as possible and get to the hospital. Massaging or tight clothes can break the blood clot up and it can travel to the lungs or heart and pulmonary embolism can be fatal
I’ve developed a lump on my leg, just now, so I’ve taken some blood thinning pills and it’s night, so I’ll wait in the morning then go see my medical practitioner. Your advice about elevating the leg, not walking or standing is good advice. I think this is probably the reason why it’s occurred. From standing for long periods of time
Sooo I have really bad health anxiety and I had a couple hour car ride and a day of off and on sitting and the next day I woke up and noticed the left side of my outer leg area being tender like almost a bruise was there but there’s nothing there and noticed it in my other leg too I will be standing lots the next two and a half weeks as I’m training to be a dog groomer and well standing 8-9 hours a day is normal, we move around a lot but still anyway I’m worried even tho I’m 26 like what if it’s dvt!? I’m out of state doing my training so idk I’m extra anxious and I only have the tenderness no warmth but someone was like yeah it’s just your muscles but idk about that
Thank you very much for this video. I found it very very helpful. I have blood clots in my leg and you help put things in perspective for me. It’s funny because everything that you described in the video was exactly how it was with me exactly.
Hi I have same one on the left side of my knee cap . How are you ?? Is it normal
This one hits close to home as someone I know died at the age of 30 from a blood clot in the knee. I've had lung blood clots so I'm always concerned about having an unexpected blood clot elsewhere 😒
How did you know you had lung blood clots
Yes how did you know you had clot in lung and how did you survived after that
@@drionna21 In 2012, I was laying in bed and felt a little annoying something in the right middle side of my back, then it slowly got to really bothersome pain (like a elephant standing on a stick) and it continued to grow and it was making me cry. We went to a emergency clinic and they did some test and I had a pulmonary embolism. They gave me a shot Dilaudid and the pain went away and I spent a week in the hospital. A hematologist did many test and they cannot find out why my blood wants to clot. In 2012 I started with 1 - 2mg of warfarin a day , now I am taking 9 - 10mg
@dreabaronyork6658 I take NATTOKINASE for blood clots. Its working.
I got mine last year @ 35yo. 4 dvt in the leg. Hurt pretty d. bad but only in the morning before taking advil. Lived with the pain for about 6 weeks before severe swelling set in at the knee. Kinda wish I went in earlier but figured they'd just turn me away and tell me to man up lol. 9 months later it's somewhat better after a vein treatment and eliquis. Pain is better but not quite resolved yet. Thought I'd share.
This is cool ⚡👍
Are there any activity precautions with DVT? Would walking or exercising cause the blood clot to break loose and travel?
I always play their videos at faster speed because there is so much banter and I need the information yesterday!! 😅
Whatever works!! Our newer videos are a lot quicker and a lot less banter
Too late lost 5 toes and part of my foot....wished I had saw this video before I waited too long...family doctor treated me for Arthritis of the Toes turns out it was a clot in the groin...after 3 years...
What were your symptoms of blood clot?
Strange how you posted this on the day of my aunts funeral. She died from DVT and a pulmonary embolism 💔 thanks for posting
Sorry For Your Loss.
How was old
Did she already have health issues?
I had it for 2 weeks, before surgery.
I had one behind my knee and I got pain there I got pain after I Had DVT it has almost a year the doc said I have a good pulse so i was wondering. Thanks Michael Chelsea NYC
I’m at an appt right now waiting for a scan bc of this video. Hopefully is just muscle cramping but I want to rule it out. One thing the nurse said on the phone is that they have had more clots lately where it is just the cramping and not redness or swelling. So always good to get anything ruled out they said and not wait for other symptoms.
Scan was fine! Waiting on final labs but they think I'm having some kind of ongoing muscle spasm/strain. GO GET CHECKED IF YOU ARE READING THIS.
Thankfully I got a PT appt b/c of a cancellation tomorrow too!
Thx for the update
I had a dvt in my leg for 6 months ,I had all the symptoms that you adress but my doctor did belive me . But I went to the emergency and they fond it. Sick .no help form my doctor .get check out for your self.😢😢😢😢
Does blood flow restriction bands cause blood clots?… I had them tightened on a perceived tightness of 7/10, only had them tightened for MAXIMUM of 15 minutes for each exercise I was doing, etc…. But I was walking around a gem show and I got a terrible cramp in my left hip, which is the exact spot I wore the BFR bands on….and it’s gotten a little better but that aching feeling is still there after almost a week… there’s no redness, no warm feeling on the skin, no swelling (that I can tell), it’s just feels like a sore muscle all along the hip muscle… it’s not getting worse, but it’s also not getting a ton better after a week since that terrible cramp at the gem show I want to.
I am 22 years old with no insurance, and don’t have enough money for treatment…. So I am really worried. Thank you for you guys’ help.
4 years ago I tore something in my hip thigh area the next day my thigh was purple and my body went cold especially my lower extremities my feet started to atrophy and idk if it was cartilage loss but my knees lost thickness to it and my thighs shrunk a lot in size this happened one week after the injury when I stepped on the scale I was 10+ lbs lighter I wasnt immobile but my movement was greatly limited for a couple months could this possibly be due to blood clots
Oh my God 🙏 my daughter had a horrible pain in her calf and we didn't know what it was. It was in her right leg calf but I assumed it may have been from her menstrual since she came on the next day
If you are in any doubt as to whether you have a DVT you really must get a D-Dimer blood test and Ultrasound. I went to the hospital with calf pain - but exhibited pretty much none of the other classic DVT symptoms, other than marginal swelling, and I had didn't really have any of the classic risk factors (other than having had an operation on my thumb a few weeks previously). Ultrasound confirmed I had a massive clot in my thigh. I'm on anti coagulants for life but my lifestyle as an active sports participant hasn't been affected.
D-Dimer is not a good indicator of blood clots... it can be another piece of the puzzle, but D-Dimer lab value can be high due to many different things, and people with normal D-Dimer can have blood clots also. Ultrasound is best.
I'm kinda feeling the same now... I have a slight calf pain that's been on and off since about this time last year. It took a bretry big break and I didn't feel anything with it from about January to last Friday. I'm not having a single symptom expert a slight be of swelling which also could just be one leg being bigger than the other bc idk how big they were before hand, and then a slight bit of pain in the kinda top left corner of my left calf...
@@chief_brody1083 If you are in any doubt whatsoever go and get yourself checked out. Don't self diagnose - don't use the internet to diagnose. If you feel you may have a DVT then insist on getting that checked out.
@@Inzaghi50 I plan on it, I was listening to their video and I'm gonna do the test they were saying what I get home and the probably make an appt. Better go go and not have one than have one and not go.
You can research as it is not inevitable to be on anticoags for life there are alternatives
What about after having phenomia and treatments?
I did calf raises about two days ago and my calves got so sore I couldn't even walk and I felt legit pain in both my calves. I don't feel like this a blood clot but does anyone know if this is a blood clot or just straight up overexertion of the calf?
I have 5 bad veins in my one leg. The vein behind the knee is the worse pain I have ever experienced. Cannot put an ounce of weight on the knee. Just got diagnosed, not sure how long I had them but hoping they go away soon! Crutches are no fun.
I recently was diagnosed with a grade 3 strain from running sprints. A DVT formed at the torn muscle in my calf.
❤ u guys

What about cramp and numbness in the outer thigh?
I am on Coumadin and have painful back leg pain. What can I do
I had both clots in both legs same time it is very possible to have two at the same time
Has pain in my left calf fir long time now had scans and is down too crushed nerve in back
I have not watched this video, but I will also tell you what DVT is. DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a very serious condition in which a blood clot (thrombus) is lodged inside the deep veins of the lower extremities, and can go through your veins to the heart and block the pulmonary artery, preventing blood from going to pick up oxygen in the lungs. Symptoms can include sharp pain in your legs, swelling and redness. However, it can also be a symptomatic until it gets very serious. The only way to prevent DVT is to do circulation exercises such as Isometric Quads Contraction, because it increases that blood flow:
Also upper limbs not as common but it happens. Great explanation though are you medically trained or just have experience with blood clots?
@Ella and my boys well I’m currently in a college program that is Occupational Therapist Assistant and Physiotherapist assistant, so it’s dual-trained, so that’s where I learned it from.
I am on Warfarin, and I fell, since then my left knee is so painful behind it, I also have a lump, is it still possible I have another clot?? thanks
Past couple years I've been getting varicose veins really bad in my left leg. I've had a lot of trouble with my knee and I just found out I need to have it replaced but I'm having an awful lot of pain in my calf of my leg. Never like before because I've had knee surgery before. So I went and saw
vascular surgeon and had to do the ultrasound and now I'm waiting to see the outcome
Sorry to hear that, hopefully you get your answers quickly, best of luck!
I'm recovering from a foot and ankle fracture, been on one leg for three months. I'm finally walking on two legs again but have pain in my and many lumps that where in my weight bearing leg. Do I need to see a Dr. ?
So can you feel the lumps? I have lumps in the back of my knee. I can't bend the knee. It's very painful. I have lumps all over my body but they don't hurt as much as the knee.
I'm a personal trainer and this happened to me a few years ago.
I thought I had a strained calf muscle and massaged the heck out of it over a few days. I ended up driving myself to the hospital because I was having a lot of pain taking deep breaths and pain in my ribcage. When they scanned my lungs, they found multiple clots in both lungs. They said it looked like I got shot with a shotgun. Apparently, all the messaging I did broke up a clot in my left calf resulting in a bilateral pulmonary embolism.
So glad you survived! Thank God!
@@ljc3484 thank you. Dr said I was lucky. God had other plans I guess 😉.
Thank goodness you're ok. Thanks for sharing your story. Note to self: don't roller release calf muscles and facia in case it might be DVT.
Omg I’m glad you are ok
I had the same, wondered why my right calf was rock solid. I have muscular calves and had been doing stuff at the gym for my legs, but I was surprised at how concrete like my right calf was becoming. At the same time I noticed I was getting out of breath waking up a flight of stairs I've walked up every day for 10 years and would normally not even been remotely out of breath. Just thought I was becoming unfit for some unknown reason. After a few weeks I went on the treadmill and burst into a cold sweat just after walking for 60 seconds , it felt like a heart attack to me. But I thought there's no way ut can be that. So I Sat down and composed myself and later that night I had a pain in my left side which felt like trapped wind. After a few hours it began to feel like a knife in my side. Drove to AE and thought they would tell me I had some chest infection. Turns out I had pnuemonia with bi lateral clots, lots of them, and they told me if I had went to bed that night, which I was on the verge of doing, I would probably not have woken up ever again. I made it in just in time, I was a fit non smoking man in.his 40s with no heath issues. I was lucky, the pain from pnuemonia saved my life and prompted me to go to hospital. Clots can gather away and you won't even know it. Never ignore any kind of change in your breathing , always go get it checked. I wouldn't have ran to hospital and initially didn't, but knowing what I know now, dont assume you're becoming unfit overnight, pay close attention to any changes. That's the best advice I can give. I knew about strokes, heart attacks etc, but I knew little about lung clots, they are something to watch out for.
I have a weird sensation in my leg I can’t describe it but the closest I can is that feeling when your leg is starting to wake up but it’s only the first few seconds but it doesn’t seem painful but it keeps coming and I’m getting scared honestly
What was the cause?
Had one last year in my ankle. Had pain in calf, lots of swelling on ankle, warm and itchy, red and was obviously a clot. ER did an ultrasound and found nothing. I readthat over 40% of DVT isnt detected in the ankle area. So i went back next day and they re did ultrasound and found it. It was a DVT.
compression stockings
I experience the pain 😢. It's so painful
I have DVT on my leg
Treated with warfarin.. Is it advisable to walk?
I am pretty sure I have a blood clot but I suspected this 4 years ago and I actually had an abscess causing infection from a groin injury, my leg was swoolen, couldn't bare weight, varicose veins, cramps, extremely painful, all the same symptoms and last time it wasn't a dvt. But this time there is no injury but it is the same leg and I am at high risk for dvts and my swelling is 2 inches bigger than the other leg. I have the redness and hot to touch also I couldn't even flex like that at all I just tried and it was very painful. I am going to the hospital as soon as I can arrange childcare and it's gone from a cramp on Fri to a limp and a cramp on Saturday and then Tuesday I am in agony. I also have been on bed rest after a kidney infection and I am pregnant 10 weeks gone. I'll come back and update once I know. Wish me luck guys 😌
Update ?
Are u ok now
Are yu ok
I'm on blood thinners and put a compression sleeve on my leg. It feels worse now after going to the ER yesterday. Wondering when I'll get some relief...
Hi guys,
so last week one night on my drive home from work. My foot started hurting pretty bad and Kevin creasing in the next few days until I can barely walk on it. It was super swollen couldn’t even put my shoe on right above my toes was turning black and blue and I couldn’t remember dropping anything on and breaking it but it sure felt like it so I went to the urgent care over the weekend and they took some x-rays and said it was nothing broken and he told me it was a infection bacterial infection that I must’ve had a cut in the skin and something got in theregive me a couple antibiotics to take on my way. I’ve been taking those for about4-5 days now and a
Yesterday I noticed my leg was hurting on my thigh right above my knee, like unbelievably hurting if I touch it to where I could even push in on it the whole leg felt swollen and tight when I moved my knee and it was also hot to the touch. It’s still that way now but it’s not quite as painful you think it’s possible that’s could be a clot? Maybe there was no bacterial infection because there was no cut or scrapes or anything visible on my foot and I’ve been diagnosed for cellulitis before recently. I sit in my truck For half the day driving usually so I’m always sitting up and the pressure on my thigh from the seat will give me pain every once in a while cause cramping last couple days. I’ve had excruciating cramping in that same area that is super sore now I can’t touch and those cramps lasted for like 30 minutes. just wanted your opinion if you think I should go back to the ER and tell him something different is going on.
Everytime I sit still I jiffle my legs almost constantly, at the hospital waiting for my results from ultra sound, I was sitting for 3 and half hours and was thirsty, to be told not to sit for long periods when I was left sitting from 2.30 until 6pm go figure
Can the front of the knee hurt with a blood clot?
Why does the DVT from the leg typically travel back and clog up the lung artery as opposed to a heart artery?
Is it because the path of blood circulation hits the lung arteries before hitting the heart arteries? 🤔
I have had a Bloom clot behind the knee, but I didn't feel pain, just my leg below the knee became white.
Interesting, white not red. Thanks for sharing!
What about back pain cause leg pain my left lower back hurt
What could swelling in my leg on one thigh only, not below the knee down.
I have a dvt, but why does my entire leg hurt, (I am on blood thinners)?
Thank you both; great informative videos! 🙏
It hurts because you still have clots blocking blood flow to muscles of the leg.
My mother’s leg was operated 4 yrs ago and she is in so so much pain till today. We have shown her to so many orthos and now neuro as dr’s say she has blood clots in her leg. Can you suggest a good dr? I’ll be really thankful to you
As I’m lying in bed with leg pain. 🤕🦵
Yup my right leg. Keep thinking it’s from bjj but I dunno it won’t go away
Trust better to be safe, I had a blood clot to my small intestines! I lost 10 feet of my bowls I should be dead, if I wasn’t a healthy women I would be!! Spent 3 weeks in the icu,,
Listen to your body!!
Couple years ago I did blood work for certain things they happened to check the D dimer and it was high Dr sent me to the ER they found nothing a few days after I felt something weird on my ankle now I suffer from a lot of knots on my ankles and Charley horses so thinking probably a knot I started massaging the area but then I felt like something squishy and with movement I rubbed it with out tough it then just disappeared like it ran down to my foot. I swear it was a blood cloth that just didn't show on the scans God is good . if you read this heat can I do to prevent these knots even when I drink water they never go away is it magnesium? Lack of some nutrient?
Both my legs are hurting bad for no reason for three days. I’m hydrated. Any help ?
Watch at 1.5x speed you're welcome
What are the treatments for DVTs?
They gave me an anticoagulant called Eliquis. I’ll be on it the rest of my life.
Had one of these in my left leg in 7th grade and it didn’t go anywhere else but it was the worst experience I’ve ever been through
All blood clot patients say this. What do they do to you?
I got a DVT in 2017 in right leg just below the knee, it went to my lungs I was in ICU for a week and have been seeing the doc every 6 months for a scan. I think it was due to sitting around too much and crossing over my leg. I still have a partial clot in the leg and it gets painful. It has been worse since lockdowns cos I wasn’t able to get out walking. Hoping to get out again when it cools down a bit.
Did you discover that it was a clot prior to it moving to the lungs? How did they discover the origin of the lung?
@@anotherunboxingchannelasmr7920 My leg had swollen but, I thought it was plantar fasciitis. I went to docs who sent me for ultra sound, she told me to go to hospital immediately as I had a clot. Eventually after telling them I was also struggling to breath after any physical exertion they took me for a scan, I was asked to drink a small amount of liquid for the scan. This showed up the pe’s in lungs.
@@quarkyman1 wow. I’m so glad they caught it for you! Hope you are recovering well
@@anotherunboxingchannelasmr7920 Thanks, struggling mentally with all the bs going on all around the world. I just want to get back to something
near to normal, Thailand has been beckoning for 2 years but I don’t think that is going to be happening anytime soon.
Michael, was the pain in your leg caused by the clot sharp shooting pains? Also was it on and off or constant? Would really like to know. 🙏
How and why does drinking a lot of alcohol cause blood clots?
Mine never got bruised.was no signs. But i did feel awkward feelings in my veins. Which traveled to my lungs.
What do you mean awkward feelings in your veins????
Another a big risk factor for DVT is having a central venous catheter, and while lower extremity DVT is still most common, upper extremity DVT is quite common with central lines. I have had my line over 2 years and fortunately no DVT yet, but it's important to be aware of the risk.
Central lines? Can you elaborate?
I have pain in both calves when I walk, it's getting worse. Still waiting for MRI results.
Kudos, Joyce, for going and getting it checked out by your doctor! "Keep things moving" like the boys said. Sending positive vibes.
What did results say???
My pain is below my calf mainly
I am a fit and healthy 34 year old, but on 9th August I went into hospital complaining of shortness of breath. I was diagnosed with an extensive bilateral pulmonary embolism and spent a week in hospital on a high dose of anticoagulant medication. I've been told that my PE was 'unprovoked' but I had similar shortness of breath symptoms in 2020 which happened after I injured my right ankle during a run. I never had the shortness of breath investigated in 2020 because the symptoms went away after about three months, but I'm wondering if I've actually had a blood clot for two years!
And I've made a rapid recovery and even went for a decent run this morning! Very pleased!
I’m terrified if this man
pain leg cramps when i lay down after work about an hour either leg pain like very very severe
You're probably dehydrated and need electrolytes: salt, magnesium, calcium, potassium. Also stretch your leg muscles before you go to bed. Leg cramps are the worst, I feel your pain!
I thought I had a blood clot and went to the ER. Found out I had a ruptured Bakers cyst! Hurt so much!
Can you do a video for tfl pain/tightness and stretches, and strengthening exercises for that?
I've been a trainer for over 30 years, specializing in corrective exercise for athletes and orthopedic injuries. Here's what I found to work best in almost everyone with TFL/ITB issues:
1) Roll out the IT band (do NOT lay on a roller!). Use "the stick" massager, a rolling pin or lacrosse ball.
2) stretch the quads (high and low) - 30 - 60sec per stretch
3) fire the glutes with bridging (double leg first, then progress to single leg; keep low-abs engaged) - 1 set × 10 - 15 reps
* do the above in close proximity and in that 1, 2, 3 order. Repeat the series 3×. Make sure to do this PRE & POST workout. Can be done every day unless glutes are particularly sore from previous workouts. If so, at least roll out the ITB and stretch the quads.
@@BigJDinSC yeah from what I’ve heard is that you stretch/roll you tfl and strengthen your gluteus medius (and maybe Maximus as well?) thanks! I’ll have to try that!
@@logandailey863 effectively stretching the ITB/TFL is very challenging and, based on my experience, the self-myofacial release has produced much better results for the time/effort put in.
NOTE: when rolling out the ITB, go very slow and put as much pressure on as you can take WITHOUT flexing your quads against the pain. VERY important to keep your quads relaxed (that's why I advise against laying on a foam roller for ITB stretching; EVERYONE flexes their quads when laying on the ITB).
@@BigJDinSC thanks for the advice! I’m hyper mobile so it’s hard to stretch anything really, But I’ll make sure to try that out! And I have a Thera cane too. Any other things for the gluteus medius? I have a tight tfl as well as trigger points in my hips
@@BigJDinSC and gluteus Maximus/minimus? Or is that not involved with my hip pain and tightness
I can barely hear parts of this -- is it my computer or is the sound of this video really low?! Anyone? Thanks.
I had to crank my volume as high as it could go to hear normally, it's not you
@@Jaemys, Okay, thanks!
I got clots as I'm protein s deficent . But now I have post thrombotic syndrome. Foot and leg aches when standing had it for 10 years . Any ideas ?
Same for me, actually the foot is the hardest to deal with, makes it so difficult to walk.
Any cures tho ?
Had blood clots in both legs and lungs painful experience I ever dealt with
What were your symptoms? I just had a baby 9 months ago and I went back to work I walk every hour and noticed both my calfs and thighs hurt bad
@@oliviah1616 pain excruciating burning pain and swelling in both leg’s. Lungs cough I couldn’t shake and pain inhaling
Question: If there were a blood clot in the thigh causing swelling/pain would an MRI (without contrast) detect this or is a venous ultrasound required? Even tho they’re much cheaper? Is an MRI sufficient? Better? Worse?
I just had a doplar and they found 2 clots, one in upper thigh and one behind the knee.
I had a mri scan but they couldn't see anything but they can be felt.
My ultrasound was 19 bucks way cheaper
I had the WORSE CHARLIE HORSE OF my life last night & IT TOOK FOREVER TO SUBSIDE the Pain
& IT felt like it NEVER REALLY WENT AWAY
It's still sore..no redness but still sore the next day
&
I'm very obese so I'm scared it could be a DVT??
