What Causes Blood Clots And Pain In The Left Leg And Lung Despite Taking Innohep?

Hi, I suffer from blood clots in the left leg and lung. I am on Innohep blodthinners but have had clots while on the bloodthinners. I keep having horrific pain in either one side or the other side of my chest. It is so bad that I cannot breathe from the pain and I have to go to Emergency to get checked. The last 3 times, it has not been blood clots, but I have to go in anyway because of my history. Now the pain is beyond belief, what could be causing it. I am not puling muscles from exercise, and it does not feel muscular.

Hello,
Thanks for using Heathcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

The presence of recurrent leg pain and chest pain clearly indicates that the deep vein thrombosis is still going on despite the use of medications.

Although there are multiple causes for it but blood disorders and interrupted flow of blood in venous system is most important.

In addition it is possible that prescribed dose of innohep is inadequate.

I will request you to get PT and INR from nearby laboratory to know the coagulability of blood.

This will help you in deciding the optimum dose of Innohep.

I hope this answers you.
Thanks again.
