Like eightiesguy said it really depends on why you have the clot. What can relatives do to ease the pain, to show support? I would also love to know how you think I can support her - I’m not living it so I can only imagine her pain from a distance. Is there anything else she needs to be careful about, now or in the future? Traveling, surgeries. Is it possible for her to have a baby under these circumstances? What kind of “check-ups” do you do to make sure it doesn’t come back? Do you take blood thinning treatments sometimes to prevent the clots from coming back?
We’re scared it could come back at any moment. She’s been given 6 additional months of treatment (Xarelto 20mg and compression socks), but a lot of questions are in our minds.ĭo most people who had PE need to take the blood thinning treatment and wear the compression socks for life?Įven if it were to disappear.

I’m also quite sad to see that the PE is still there after one full year of treatment! She absolutely hates wearing the compression socks. She was quite devastated to see that she was not done with it. There’s no new PE, but it’s still there: it’s still in her small arterias (once again, my apologies for my non-medical vocabulary). The 3rd and last scan (6 months after the 2nd one) a few days ago was. She had to keep doing the same things (Xarelto 20mg and compression socks) and the last scan was supposed to be the last one. The second CT scan, 6 months later, was better (from what I understood, the big arteries were way better). She was then put under a blood thinning treatment (Xarelto 20mg, 1 per day) and had to wear compression socks all day. She had 3 CT scans: the first was one year ago (it was bad and quite alarming according to the doctor). She did take birth control pills for 2 years (of course, she stopped taking it) before having PE. She was tested for D-dimer (negative) so it apparently isn’t genetic. My sister, who’s 30, had a bilateral PE one year ago.
