I could barely move to do anything…. Couldn’t sit up or turn over etc and was on 2 different types of opioids and was still in severe pain. Just saying all that because pain is definitely possible with p.e and also maybe the p.e hasn’t gone away completely or something has come back in its place? My pain stayed for weeks after that first episode though - but if it’s new onset pain after the PE has gone I’d definitely be getting it looked at ASAP.

Thanks @
unlived. The pain is better today but I'm also less active today than I was yesterday.
I had a great deal of pain with the p.e. which went away with the high dose of blood thinner and treatment at the e.d.
The pain I'm having now is in the same place as the p.e. so maybe it isn't completely gone yet. I'm still on the blood thinner but only once a day. I'll consult with a doctor at the clinic I was treated at if I can on Monday.
