was diagnosed with DVT about 2 1/2 years ago .. .. felt pain in my leg which made walking difficult and slightly swollen calf ... went to GP and was sent straight to A&E .. after an ultrasound was diagnosed with extensive DVT .. unexplained as to why it happened hence why i am now on Apixiban for life ... anyways feel fine now and back on the bike and cycling as much as i was before .. i wear a medical dog tag just like @ColinJ has ..just in case of emergencies ...
My leg is still slightly swollen but nowhere near as bad as it once was ... My consultant Hematologist seems happy and told me just to go out there and cycle .. no point being wrapped up in cotton wool ...
so @PK99 just let the shock subside...take the meds and get back on that bike and enjoy ... don't let things like this get to you and think positive ... things could have been a lot worse ... Happy pedalling
thank you for the reassurance.
