Warfarin Coumadin aka Blood thinners and Climbing 8-Sep-2010 At 1:24:46 PM ..::- Chris -::..

Thanks for the replies....

The Clot is still in the Superficial Veins, It started below my Calf (again on the superficial vein ) just felt like a bruise, then a few days later same sort of bruise at the side of my knee... When i felt the one at my knee i realized it was a vein and followed the pain back down my leg...... Went to the Doc's... he put me on Voltaren 50mg three times a day (thin the blood etc) however it wasn't stoping the Clot which was heading closer and closer to the money area (groin) where the Superficial and Deep veins meet and as a result here i am ......

Still not sure about the climbing, but I reckon i'll be fine to do the classics, wear a helmet and just climb 6-8 grades easier than what i normally do....

Cheers for the replies...
Chris.
