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. Did it give you headaches and wavy vision? If so, does that go away? Quote

I am betting you don’t play professional contact football for a living. Plus there are multiple possible causes which require investigation. It could be a cardiac lesion , like a valvular issue or unclosed connection between chambers of the heart not detected before ( remember teddy brushci ?). I didn’t see any detail of exactly where he clots were or how they presented clinically. Those factors determine treatment and prognosis. If it’s a simple dvt in a leg , then it’s very straightforward, yet still affects his availability to play for a. Minimum period of at least three months. I didn’t see an exact diagnosis or cause given and this is a professional athlete where head injuries are not uncommon and obviously bleeding into the closed cranial space can be disastrous while on anti coagulation. Forgive me if the exact diagnosis was stated and I missed it , which determines therapy. Until that is know there is no way to know prognosis or treatment length , but it’s pretty obvious this is a POSSIBLE career altering situation for a professional football player. if someone knows the exact underlying diagnosis causing he clotting and any co-morbidities or lack thereof present , only then can they provide any useful/ trustworthy information regarding return to play prognosticators. Hope it’s a simple, straightforward cause and he returns in time to safely resume his career. Quote
ALLinALLEN Posted July 29 Posted July 29 A coworker of mine just had a P.E. from blood clots in his legs that traveled up after a back surgery. Almost didnt make it. Happened 2 Months ago and he still gasps for air and says he has about 75% lung capacity. So scary, and praying for the man in NE. 1 Quote

Oh I was in no way talking about a pro athlete playing...I was simply responding to a person saying simple cuts were life threatening...they aren't in the vast majority of people unless there is something REALLY wrong with you. 1 hour ago, CoudyBills said: Did it give you headaches and wavy vision?

That must be new because when I was taking it they told me there wasn't anything if that happened. Now there really isn't any reason to be on Warfarin or Coumadin since Eliquis effects are very short in terms of coming off of it for any type of surgery, etc...think you go back to normal in 24-48 hours instead of weeks like the other ones.

Royale with Cheese Posted July 31 Posted July 31 I fouled a ball off of my leg in college, the lump swelled up a lot. I continued to play on it. The swelling went down to a little lump by the next game the following day...ots of bruising. I was in left field and I just remember around the 3rd inning, my leg was tingling and starting to get really numb. Our Team Trainer told me to go to the hospital. I went there and the ER doc took a scalpel, opened up the lump and was pulling out solid strings of blood. I can't believe a simple lump caused all that. Quote
