I am very interested in this, with severe arteriosclerosis...I havent any pulse in my feet, they turn blue, always cold..except behind right knee..have been having a strange heat sensation... go for ABI in a week, they suspect blood clot...

My goodness, what a story. Such a terrific surgeon and such a very lucky man.

Dang, I need a coumadin pill right now

 

[Ross]

I've seen clots before but, DANG!!!!

 

[jiniani]

I will be on coumadin after my surgery...

Can I count this as one advantage of being on coumadin... ?!!!

Most certainly!

With Coumadin the clot would only have been half the size

Wow! Great video. Yaps, I hope all goes well for you and that whatever it is that there will be something that will give you some relief.

I'm not looking at it Yaps! From everyone else's response, I know it must be bad!
I hope whatever is happening with your circulation is corrected soon, permanently, and EASILY!!!!!

Strange Heat Sensation?

Strange Heat Sensation?

Yaps,

What have they told you about the strange hot sensation in the back of your leg? I know someone who had it for a day or two and it went away. They never did find out what it was.

 

[Yaps]

They think its a blood clot.. I am always cold, without failure.. no pulse in either foot..so we know the arteriosclerosis is into overtime.Heat sensation is new...I go for ABI next Friday. I dont know what they intend to do They just want to check, as I am on coumadin and plavix..its simply an extreme case in me.I still have the heat sensation daily and it travels up and down my leg (I am always thinking ,oh did I have an oops? )
Has anyone else had this?I am interested in how it is handled, as my collateral veins are dying.. . love the pup

Hot sensation

Hot sensation

Yaps,

Yes, as I mentioned, my buddy (from cardiac rehab) had that sensation. He never did find out what it was. When you find out, post it, so I can pass it on.
