Newly Diagnosed/?Survived?
Hi everyone, I was recently admitted to the hospital for a week for a pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis and have been discharged for 2 weeks now? Context- left leg clots from my foot all the way up to stomach ish, plus multiple small ones in my lungs.
While in the hospital after they put in the leg catheters for medicine to be pushed throughout my leg i developed really painful spasms, even after they’ve taken those out and still healing I still have spasms but very itty bitty but noticeable to my partner laying next to me specifically when I lay down on my back even with my feet elevated or not elevated or sitting in chairs. They’re not painful anymore but it’s a weird flutter sensation and tightening if that makes sense? The doctors/surgeons never said anything about spasms in recovery or even a timeline when I had brought it up to them.
Has these ever gone away for anyone? Any advice or tips? Also is my leg permanently changed/damaged now?
The doctors were very eager of saying I’ll be fine and bounce right back to fully normal since I’m 22 but I have my doubts unfortunately.
