What Is The Purpose Of Administering Two Shots Of Lovenox?

Hi can someone tell me why my nurse gave me to different shots of “LOVENOX” before being discharged when they were already giving me TORDAL (Anti inflammtory)( by IV) and Norco, Acetaminophen, Dilaudid and Morphine( by IV) for my pain. Now I have a pain in my chest that is probably because of a blood clot due to that “ Lovenox “ rat poison I didn’t need or ask for in the first place…
