Craig, glad to have you on the website, but sorry to hear about your blood clot. All I can tell you is when I had my surgery (12/27/06) there was a big concern about blood clots...especially in my legs. They wrapped my legs in a "wave motion" type wrap and mentioned to me over and over again when I was coming home to call immediately if I had leg pain or chest pains. I know it is a big concern since PC surgery is near the arterties going to the legs. That is all I can tell you. I hope you start feeling better.

Frank, thank you for your story and your encouragement. It could have been caused by the trouble in the lymph system in that leg, which already had lymphatic edema. For now all I can do is be careful, move around some, then keep the leg up, and do the injections twice daily. Take care !fcatroneo said:Craig, glad to have you on the website, but sorry to hear about your blood clot.
