Warfarin Coumadin aka Blood thinners and Climbing 8-Sep-2010 At 11:44:12 AM ..::- Chris -::..
Message
I've recently beed diagnosed with a mild form of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) mine is not quite Deep Vein (Superficial Vein) meaning the veins near the skin....but anyways I'm now (as of yesterday) on blood thinning Warfarin aka Coumadin...

Obvious risk of bleeding badly from any scratch or cut i receive or in a bad case internal hemorrhaging.

Is anyone else out there on these drugs and still climbing indoors or out ??

Also on a side note when i asked how i got these clots (superficial thrombosis) in my right leg only the doc said have you had any trauma to the leg or been on a plane or sat in a car for a long drive.... Well 4 hrs to the grampians.... I take lead falls in my harness etc.... So the theory thus far (which i don't buy) is that i've got these clots from either the drive to the grampians (which i've been doing for 14 years now) or from one side of my leg loops causing damage to my vein leading to clots which again i've been doing for years.... Weird....

Thanks in Advance,
Chris
