This is a very interesting thread on Clots. You may want to look over this information out of Harvard: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/05/flavonoid-compound-can-prevent-blood-clots/ There are also numerous papers in PubMed on the subject of Rutin and clotting. There have been some minor human trials though the serious ones are just now recruiting. Rutin in cheap and seems like it would make a nice insurance policy against blood clots.

For the record in June I had a DVT caused by May Thurner Syndrome (a crossing of the iliac artery and vein causing the vein to be compressed). Had I stayed hydrated and not sat for extended periods at the office I would never have known I had MTS. Because I didn't know better I have a 100 percent blockage of the iliac vein and may be on Xarelto for life.

I have also been using T for years due to numbers well below 300. I prefer injection - the creams seem to increase my BPH for some reason. I would donate blood every two or three months to reduce my blood viscosity but for lack of time I went a year right before my DVT which also resulted in multiple, bilateral pulmonary embolisms.

All of that is a long story but here's my advice - stay hydrated (above all else). If you have to sit a lot get up every 30 minutes and move for a minute or two. Consider taking 500mgs or Rutin 3 times a day and become familiar with the symptoms of DVT. If you survive and that's a big if, the aftermath is no fun.

I use testosterone to this day and don't believe it had a thing to do with my DVT/PE.
