The latest thinking goes like this:
"Runners’ bodies adapt to running by making their leg vascular system
more efficient: larger veins and arteries. So if you sit for a long
time and are scrunched in an airplane seat, the blood can pool in your
larger leg veins, and clot. That—coupled with the edge of the seat's
pushing on the back of your ...

It took the ER nurses, technicians, and doctor 7 hours to check me out. The conclusion was that I had several blood clots in my legs. The CAT scan didn't show any clots in my lungs, but the ER doctor felt that I probably had some small ones that were causing me get tired after just a few seconds of activity.
I left the ER and went to a regular ...

One positive result of my blood clots

My blood clots really weakened my body. On the Monday that I discovered the clots, I could only walk 50-100 feet, and going up stairs to my bedroom was really hard and my head was covered with sweat. I was in the hospital for 5 days and did a small amount of walking there -- I got up to about 400 feet. I gained almost 30 pounds of water-weight in m ...

Wed 22 Oct 2008 4:37pm
I fly from Minnesota to Texas a few times a year and always get achy legs. A resent report found the risk of developing potentially fatal blood clots in the legs roughly triples on a flight that lasts longer than four hours. The flights I take are usually only 2 1/2 hours but by the time I factor in the time sitting for take off and landing it's ...

A possible reason for my slow recovery since my blood clot attack in January
by
Allen
Posted
Tue 01 Dec 2009 10:03pm
I received an interesting email from a pulmonary critical care physician (who is also a marathoner) who recently discovered this blog and has been reading about my recovery from my auto accident five years ago and from my blood clots in January. He hasn't seen my medical records or the x-ray of the vein filter that was put in my body five years ago ...
