Well, thought it was high time for an update...
My DVT treatment is well underway and an amazing experience thus far.
Timeline:
7-10 days the pain in my right leg subsided and my leg shrunk back to a more normal size.
2nd week: back pain much less.
3rd week: to the day, sleep was amazing better with 2.5 hour lengths between get-up-and-pee times instead of 1 to 1.25 hours each time. So far, this has continued!
AND... back pain subsided enough to be able to turn on my sides without the usual horrible pain afterward - and no leg cramps either.
ALSO... energy levels seem up a bit.
Let's hope this continues. Oh, my back MRI showed just regular deterioration and no need for surgery.
Earlier I had 2 compressed disks, 1 herniated, calcium deposits up the spine and arthritis developing in the lower portion of my back.
Back to writing I go... until next time!
