Hello,
You can continue clexane until you are able to mobilise or move the limbs. As you are immobilised, you are at a high risk for developing clots and clexane will help to prevent it.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
