I'm sorry to hear that, gayleggg. I had a pulmonary embolism that came from my arm, but luckily it didn't kill me. I also had a tiny blood clot that went to my brain. It took the pulmonary embolism months to clear up. Most of it just requires time, though they did give me huge doses of Aspirin while they were trying to get rid of it. Now I'm on Lovenox injections twice a day and haven't had any trouble since. They're really not that bad to give yourself. In any case, I hope that it goes away soon. I hope your next phone call or appointment will yield more promising results.
