Avatar n tn It turns out that portal vein and superior mesenteric vein are thrombosed. They put her on enoxaparin and wanted her to rest for 5 days until the next control. She refused to be put on heparin or warfarin because of her history of gastrointestinal bleeding and recent surgery. We've been told thrombectomy would be extremely risky, given her medical history. I read somewhere enoxaparin only prevents further occlusion of the vein and does not lyse existing clot.

Avatar f tn I wad injecting in the stomach but started developing scar tissue and it was getting sorer and sorer.
Avatar n tn continue through with warfarin, or to stop the warfarin and bridge in between with enoxaparin or heparin (as snconorm had done). http://www.circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/116/22/2531 So continuing through with warfarin seems to be the newer strategy. What would NOT be done is to stop anticoagulation altogether.
Avatar f tn Yes I'm on the generic enoxaparin. I was on it with my first and forth (all 4 pregnancies were miscarriages). Now I'm on it again since 3 1/2 weeks pregnant.
Avatar f tn I have been on progesterone suppositories, baby asprin, folic acid, prenatal vitamins and enoxaparin.
Avatar n tn CT Scan on 11-07-2008 showing peritoneal carcinomatosis very small nodulos but one more big about 2.2 and 1.9 cm,in the left size in anterior abdominal - pelvis wall close colon , we like to trie ciberknife but we need more information about that.
Avatar n tn t too sure where to post this, I have been taking a daily dose of tinzaparin for the last 4 months to treat my bilateral pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, and i have noticed my hairline receding and my overall head of hair thinning.
Avatar f tn I am regularly taking these both medicines. Regularly undergoing Ultrasound regular scan and Doppler scan. Till now the growth of fetus is good and is better than the last pregnancy. But my platelet count is coming down, now its around 160,000. I have heard, usually during pregnancy platelet count comes down. I am worried whether this is just incidental one or is it because of the medicines i am taking. My doctor tells, it shouldn't come down less than 150,000.
Avatar n tn well we have ready date of one surgery in germany tubingen university,periectomic surgery more intra peritoneal quimioterapy. but this week was terrible, we was to tha hospital here close to my home because my husband have a incfrese pain , after 7 month the quimioterapy with xeloda,taxol,avastin, i talk with his doctor , we want to make ct stan, because that pet-scan always say everything is same.
Avatar m tn My aorta was 4.0 when I had mine repaired. I have a connective tissue disorder though. To be on the safe side, check out the National Marfan Foundation website and the Loeys Dietz website. I was always termed to have Marfan syndrome but the diagnosis changes after my surgery and now it is Loeys Dietz. Just google those and you can find out more. You have to be your own advocate and don't let any doctor tell you that you don't have to have the surgery until 4.5 or 5.0.
612551 tn?1450022175 In particular, people taking fish oil or long-chain omega-3 fatty acid (EPA and DHA) supplements in combination with anticoagulant drugs, including aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), dipyridamole (Persantine), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid) and warfarin (Coumadin), should have their coagulation status monitored using a standardized prothrombin time assay (INR).
Avatar n tn IIRC rivaroxaban is already approved for post orthopedic surgery only. Just think of the sawing and hammering that goes on in bone surgery, and that tells why clot formation is a big danger.
Avatar f tn m worried about the pain involved with this surgery as well as the iv sedation. I do not have a high pain tolerance and have been told that i will need pain medicine for the first few days. I was also told that being an addict it takes more anesthesia to get to where they want me to be. I'm vey nervous I'm fairly new to the program...Help.
490443 tn?1236648256 She talked to the anesthesiologist and so did I before the surgery. He suctioned my sinuses while I was out of it and I felt great after. He didn't want me coughing or sneezing for a few days and it worked great. Saline nasal mists work well too. FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED FOR MONDAY!
Avatar f tn Just diagnosed two months ago with pvc's and they are basically non-stop. Have been referred to a heart specialist but haven't been able to get the appt. yet. I was planning to have sinus recostructive surgery on my nose in April, can someone with pvc's still have surgery and will doctors in a private clinic perform a procdure like this knowing I have been experiencing this problem. Thanks.
255163 tn?1376869746 t really understand the doc not wanting to do the surgery. I had bypass surgery and got 2 stents installed while on Plavix with no problems at all. I think the risk is controlling the bleeding, but it must not really be that big a problem. Gall bladder removal is not the big deal it used to be. One lady I know had it done and just spent one night in the shop--almost like an outpatient surgery--and she was on Plavix. I think they had her not take it just for a day or two before the surgery.
Avatar n tn so my question is, are you sure you want to go through the surgery? Ive heard so many mixed results from people having back and neck surgery. some people wish they had never had it done, that it made them worse etc. So my question is, if your pain is being well controlled with a non narcotic right now, why risk it? Im sure there must be more to your story- are your bad discs in danger of causing major damage if left alone or something?
Avatar n tn I am 29 and have asthma. I had surgery six weeks ago for the removal of my polyps. I was told they are already growing back. I have taken every medication possible (steroids, antibot's and sprays). Is there anything else I can possibly try? I am so upset about this. I have lost two jobs and have no hope of ever feeling better. Nothing seems to work. I have chronic sinus infections constantly and horrible headaches that never go away. Please help!
Avatar f tn Just like you I did several cycles of clomid prior to the surgery but those were definitely a waste of time and money. You should seriously talk to your doctor before taking more clomid. Good luck!
540822 tn?1313086322 How long does the oncologist generally wait between surgery (hysterectomy) and chemotherapy?
Avatar f tn Thank you so much. My liver is stage 2 Fibrosis and the minor surgery is on my foot correcting a toe bone that is pushing through the bottom of my foot causing much pain walking. I did tell the doctor I had HCV but don't know how aware he will be in post surgical monitoring. I'll call his office Monday and ask. Thanks again.
647391 tn?1275016633 I appreciate your response a lot. I agree with the glucose values you say. I have those type of numbers. It is pretty common for me to have them. I was switched to glipizide a couple months ago. I wonder if it is the right med for me. I tried to go the website you recommended and did not have success getting there. Once thanks for the response.
Avatar f tn We usually admit the patients 3 days prior to the surgery when we withhold coumadin and start heparin once the INR is less than 2.0. After surgery we usually start the heparin 12 hours after the surgery and coumadin shortly thereafter. The patient usually don't leave the hospital until their INR above 2.0. These are not hard and fast rules, and some physicians are more careful than others.
222267 tn?1253302210 t know jack about making me manic or depressed. I will call my doc tomorrow and find out and just let him know what's going on.
Avatar f tn It will not offend the doctor...afterall you are looking out for you. Surgery is a serious thing and not to be taken lightly.
Avatar f tn I just had PPV with gas bubble done on my right eye 3 months ago and I am scared that the surgery will cause my retina to detach again. 6) are there really no drops or injections, etc that can be done instead of surgery? 7) when is it too long to wait to get an ERM surgery? I also read that one shouldnt wait too long to get it done, otherwise, the surgery might not work or the scar might harden too much for it to be removed? Is this statement true as well.
142722 tn?1281533616 s a major surgery and very painful!!!! But I spoke openly w/ my ob about it and we have discussed a semi-plan seeing how good/bad shape I'm in..I will only be on the percs for short period if doable then switch right to ib 800"s not sure if that will cut it for the pain but I don't want to be sent home w/ a bottle of pain killers!!!
