Pain after blood clots

[R4190]

I had my 3rd DVT in my groin area last year and have had pain ever since. I have been unable to work and am currently classed as limited capability and have been asked to retrain to work from home. I don't even know where to start! I've worked in hospitality and retail all my life and have a 2 year old son in tiny flat. Any suggestions on how to manage pain and get back to work somehow 😕

Hello. Can you access a product called Wobezym? It is an enzymatic product in pull form ( from a health food store …maybe a pharmacy will have it ) that breaks down fibrin. Fibrin is what forms the clot.

It will help with inflammation and pain to. Good luck.

I think a good way to start is for one week do a detailed journal. When you were in too much pain to do anything - when it was a bit better. Use a scale 1-10 for 1 being the least pain. After a week you should have a good idea of when you were able to work and how able. It might be that work needs to be flexible enough to fit around thst.
