@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 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.

@crowns4saints408 2 года назад

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 💔💔

@teriandjacobsworld Год назад

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!!

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.

@ella-bt8hp 2 года назад

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

@furball8967 Год назад

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

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.

@Inzaghi50 2 года назад

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.

@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane 2 года назад

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.

@anthonyarmata4525 2 года назад

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:

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.

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.

@Better_Call_Raul Год назад

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? 🤔

@quarkyman1 2 года назад

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.

@anotherunboxingchannelasmr7920 2 года назад

Did you discover that it was a clot prior to it moving to the lungs? How did they discover the origin of the lung?

@quarkyman1 2 года назад

@@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.

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

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!

Can you do a video for tfl pain/tightness and stretches, and strengthening exercises for that?

@BigJDinSC 2 года назад

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.

@logandailey863 2 года назад

@@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!

@BigJDinSC 2 года назад

@@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).

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.
