Is there a good chance that I had some clotting six weeks ago ?.Now I m afraid of exercising how should I progress. I am on the waiting list for orthopaedic surgery.Does this prevent me from having surgery.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You have been treated for clotting disorder.

For confirmation of clotting disorder D dimer, angiography, echocardiography like investigations done as per location of clot

You might be given anticoagulant drug like heparin for clot removal

If heparin given then clot might be cleared after six week, so no worry in that

If you provide your reports then it can be said whether clot was present or not

If you have clotting disorder and if you are on anticoagulant drug then surgery should be delayed

Take care

Hope your concern solved

Consult physician for examination and further work up accordingly
