Not feeling my best these days

Going through a really bad time, I am having what I think is a reaction to a blood thinner. I have broken bother hips first Oct 2020 and second Jan 2023. I am still not walking with out my walker. In the past week I have had back pain and pins and needles on my right hip. I have stopped the blood thinner last night and see both my cardio NP and Ortho on Wed. I am so miserable it hurts to move, one good thing is I am able to sleep thanks to Valium and Benadryl, keep me in your thoughts

Re: Not feeling my best these days

@I am still oxox I am so sorry to hear what you have been going through.

 

I hope you are able to get answers and relief on Wednesday. At least you are able to get some sleep. A small comfort I realize but the alternative would be pain 24/7.

 

My heart goes out to you: will keep you in my prayers and sending you comfort and empathy.

Why did you stop the blood thinner?  That really doesn't make any sense to me.  But I'm very happy that you will be seeing your doctors soon.   Let them know that you stopped the blood thinners.

Re: Not feeling my best these days

I am so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. The pain sounds terrible, not pain you can just ignore. Prayers you can do okay until your dr visits on Wed. Did you check with the dr before stopping your blood thinner? If not, be sure and mention that to your dr. I will be remembering you in my prayers. Would appreciate an update on here so everyone knows how you are doing. Many care about you!

Re: Not feeling my best these days

If you are taking a blood thinner for a heart problem such as A fib you should not go off the blood thinner. The pain you are having is probably an orthopedic problem. My friend had a hip replacement last summer and was walking well after 3 weeks. If you are still using a walker this long after hip replacement the Orthopaedic doctor needs to be seen.
