Curt Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I have the same problem. You can die from it but once you know that your body is producing blood clots it's super easy to control with blood thinner. I am no doctor but this is my understanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on a blood thinner, you probably shouldn’t play contact sports. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Unless he has a hereditary predisposition to clotting abnormally, his treatment is a few months of blood thinner and that’s it. Minimal recovery if any is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Trey Smith of the Chiefs suffered from blood clots and was treated with 6 months of anticoagulant and a baby aspirin. Not sure if he's still on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) I have a genetic condition called Factor V Leiden, which causes my blood to abnormally clot. I found out after I had a pulmonary embolism in 17'. Tratable with a blood thinner like Eliquis, and baby asprin. but a really bad cut could be disastrous. I am betting he has it,and if so he has to be very careful from here on out. Edited July 28 by SoonerBillsFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factor V is a disease predominantly in Caucasian populations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Buffalo Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The cause of the blood clots is huge here, because as some have already pointed out some causes make any cut life threatening. There are also ones where it is very treatable and simply long term monitoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad is as well and I have had a blood clot due to an impending hip surgery that rendered my immobile for multiple weeks prior... Basically they put you on Eliquis and you are good to go. Not sure how that would work playing football tho since you would bruise/bleed more easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPL Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Really really really thought this said Christian Benford at first glance. I hope Barmore is able to make it back from this. He's a heck of a player. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have both had small cuts here and there and it was no big deal, maybe took a little longer than normal to stop but we weren't gushing blood for hours. The one issue with Elquis tho is that even tho it is far better than Warfarin in terms of side effects and ease of use is that if you do have a SERIOUS incident like a car crash or something they have no way of reversing it currently like they do with Warfarin.

Minimal recovery if any is needed. Plenty of non-hereditary reasons for clots that are of enough concern that continuing this type of massive contact sport might not be such a good idea.

You can die from it but once you know that your body is producing blood clots it's super easy to control with blood thinner. I am no doctor but this is my understanding. I have same issue with blood with very high concentration of platelets. When I am punctured wound seals very quickly. It may have caused my stroke. He needs to be constantly monitored due to his profession but as long as he does not skip medical checks he should be okay but sometimes when players suspect bad medical news which may cost them job (it has for me several times) he should be okay.

njbuff Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Best wishes to him. I don't know if you can really play contact sports knowing you have blood clots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
co_springs_billsfan Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Yikes! This is probably a lost season for him, but hopefully he's back next year with no residual effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one in life, that said, more than likely he’ll be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm guessing blood thinners could make you prone to a lot of contusions in a contact sport, and they would be a lot more severe.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 There are several genetic conditions that predispose people to clots Factor V Anti-thrombin III Protein C and S Lupus anticoagulant And there are probably several more we haven't discovered yet If just a DVT and no pulmonary embolism and no genetic cause you can treat for 3 months then stop though I usually do a minimum of 6 months.
