Suggest Treatment For A Blood Clot In The Arm

I have a blood clot in my upper arm that I got as the result of an intervenous hook up. It is in a surface vein. I am 64 years old and have no health issues at all. I need to have rotator cuff surgery. They put me on blood thinners for the clot. Now a blood Dr. said I cannot take my permpro because she said it will interfere with the blood thinner. Is this true? I have been taking prempro for 10 years. I have tried to quit taking it a couple of times, but I have break through bleeding when I do. Is this normal?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Patient,
Are you taking blood thinning agents just for a clot in your superficial vein, rather than giving your body systemic bad effects of drugs that can be surgically removed. if your body has a propensity of making regular clots than off course you need to take these blood thinning drugs. So be certain of that.
secondly your doctor has rightly advised you to stop permpro, along with blood thinning agents.
Hope that answers your queries,
Thanks
