You cant get a PE from sitting too muh, but you can get a clot in your leg which could then move to your lungs. If you are experiencing any pain from your leg, you should consider seeing a doctor.
The side effects of speed running are staggering
I'm actually curious, since family members of mine had blood clots, but how bad did the pain get?
The pain was intense and stabbing, it increased as time went on.

That's part of my six month plan. Unfortunately a sedentary lifestyle is all i can lead during these early stages, i have a cane thogh, which is nice.

« on: October 07, 2014, 07:57:25 PM »How would you describe the pain?
Past few days I've had this constant aching pain in my calf that comes from basically one spot. I'm worried that it could be a clot from sitting on my ass too long, since you can get clots from that.
If you have any constant pain behind your knee coupled with a hard time walking go to the doctor immediately. 1 in 100 people die of this stuff.

Hi, hello, just a reminder that this guy was commenting on the fact that people were making a big deal out of this just like past diseases. Too many idiots seemed to think that this was serious.

Thanks.
id hate to go to emergency over a nose bleed lol
Yeah I already got my first nosebleed, though it wasn't too serious; basically I just have to be on top of putting pressure on any orifice that exhumes blood.

also good luck
Yeah I have to switch to an electric razor or face the consequences of gushing face cuts. I popped a entrepreneur le and it didn't stop bleeding for an hour.
Hopefully the medications arent horribly addictive .x.
Just the high-strength Tylenol, and then I think only because it gets rid of my pain to an extent.

A week ago I was experiencing some serious pain in my ankle and leg, for three days this pain continued until I convinced myself and my parents that I needed to go to Urgent Care. Upon arrival they tested my blood and did an ultrasound of my leg; after the results of the ultrasound came back there was a large blood clot found behind my leg, which explained the pain. However, when the results of the blood tests came back they found that I had an elevated white blood cell count, which could have meant I had a Pulmonary Embolism (blood clots in the lungs). I was sent to the emergency room where the doctor immediately ordered a CT Scan of my lungs, they found that I did indeed have clotting in my lungs and I was admitted into the hospital for three days. During this time I had many vials of blood taken for testing and learned of a condition that runs in my family called "Factor Five". Factor Five is a condition where on the most basic level your blood is sticky and clumps together easily.
They just recently sent me home and I'm on powerful blood thinners and pain medication. Treatment is expected to continue for at least six months. The biggest concern is that the clots could move to my heart, so let's hope that that doesn't happen. :)
