2 weeks ago I had rotator cuff surgery for a torn bicept ligament . A week later I experienced severe pain in the lower arm and numbness. The Dr. ordered a untra-sound and found out that I had a blood clot by the elbow. I have been put on cumadin and 2 shots daily in the stomach to thin the blood. I have been taking the pills and shots for 4 1/2 days.
This afternoon (friday) I started to experience more numbness the the arm. Can you advise. Thanks
 
I have been taking Lovenox 80MG Prefilled shots. Have you ever experienced this? My blood was a 1 at the beginning. And 4 days later it was 1.1 My doctor said it had to be between 2 and 3.
 
No, I haven't been on that but obviously it is not working and not up to the level you need. Don't risk losing your arm(or life) if the clots moves deeper or moves to your lungs. Call your doc.
