Is Double Dose Of Clexane Injection Advisable When Suffering From Spinal Problems?
Prescribed 40mg clexane injections TWICE daily for SIX WEEKS following left ankle fracture surgery. History of spinal problems including foot drop and numbness in left foot and tethered cord syndrome with spinal fusion some 25 years ago. One kidney from surgery for Wilms tumour 45 years ago . Is 80mg a day appropriate for me? Am I at risk?
