Hi, 4 years ago I had a saddle PE, been on warfarin and tow bp meds since then. About 2 months ago I was working pretty hard when the back of my neck all of a sudden felt like it was on fire as was the back of my head.
My neck stayed tight and swollen up unitl 4 days ago when abuot 4 am I felt things move in my neck and it was like I could feel warmer water going through my whole body, I esp noticed it in my legs.
I have been myself since then, but during that time I lost days, could not articulate well and at times could not, had to get wifes help to attach pictures to a email, and ive been a part time computer repair person.
Every time I wanted to put somehitng in microwave I tried the cabinet next to it.
The neck pain and the odd feeling in the back of my head was worse then the pain in my lower calf that ended with me going 4 days in a Denver cicu, on hep, the lovinox then rat poison.
My last trip to the hospital cost me 98k out of pocket, I made it though this and seem ok, but im so so worried.
I have blown veins in my legs, cold feet all the time, my dad stroked out at 53, im 45.
Ive lived life at 110mph all the time, never stop.
Now my neck is not swollen or tight since the feeling of ??? moving. Just like my PE, the day after it happened my calf was normal, but they did find little clots in the ultrasound.
Luckly I can actually throw up lung material, about 3 years after my PE it took a lot but I coughed up what looked like a white thing and the only pic that matched on the web was a bronch cast???? But after that deal I could breath as good as before.
Now its just random lil clots I pass and my lungs get ride of them, but this last deal with the burning up the back of my neck and head on fore has me very concerned, I was not myself for over six weeks.
I know I should of went to the ER but cant afford another 100k or more bill.
now my neck is back to normal, it cracks and grinds in my ears when I move it, I used to support 75 pound sheets of material with my head while moving them when I was building new homes.
But mainly Im concerned about the last deal with my neck/head that took six weeks to seem to get back to normal
Thanks for any input you might have, I got to my GP in 8 days, he says I cant make clots on warrarin???
Help!
Thanks, Mark B
