Developed Blood Clot In Right Lung With Lung Infraction. Took Lovenox. Pain On Left Lung, Chest. Treatment?
I had surgery in October of 2012. I developed a blood clot in my right lung with a right side lung infraction. I was on Lovenox for approx 3 months. It's been 6 months and I'm still in pain right side and now I've developed pain on the left side and chest pain. My question is this normal? I have difficulty breathing at times. I'm 50 years old and I take no medication except for over the counter Motrin for pain and vitamins

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Blood clot in lung and infarction , this is not normal .
As you stated that now pain is also on left side .
You also developed difficulty in breathing , so disease is progressing.
Either upload complete reports or consult a physician and get his opinion.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
