[QUOTE="JPB, post: 72109, member: 2659"] My recent story. I am 57, not on TRT, but was taking Clomid. Thursday I was diagnosed with DVT / clot in my left calf and put on Xarelto 15mg twice daily. Although I initially could not remember an injury, after the shock of diagnosis wore off I recalled taking a sharp blow to my leg (in the location of the clot) in March, which stayed sore a few weeks but then went away. So about 7-10 days ago, my symptoms became evident, which were in my calf, like a cramping feeling, tenderness, and a feeling like it was swollen although this was not really obvious. Another occasional symptom, more worrisome, was a slight cough (along with the injury in March, another thing I forgot to tell the PCP about). My left calf measured 1 inch greater than my right. So I was getting worried as after 1 week it was not getting better and I felt really weary and like a depression came over me, so I called the doctor's office and they were able to get me in the next day. On first inspection my PCP did not think it was a clot. However after the doctor visit, I was sent for imaging. Ultrasound was performed and confirmed the clot. The Xarelto was prescribed so I started on it that day. I was also seeing the PCP in regards to TRT and reconsidering it. He said if I had a clot it would rule out any TRT. At the time of the exam with him I could not recall an injury, so he is unaware of that. Also said Clomid could increase clotting risk, he pulled me off it. He ordered blood work in a few weeks. The blood work is basic, CMP, etc and includes T level. But it appears any TRT will be a struggle with this PCP. So basically after reviewing information on this thread, my understanding is that TRT would increase my risk only if I was considered a "clotter". At this point, I do not think I have thrombophilia, but instead consider this as an isolated incident, related to the injury. If I am not a "clotter" then TRT should be ok. At any rate this is serious stuff and everybody should be aware of it. Not sure how long I'll be on the Xarelto but the prescription goes out three months. My calf is feeling better after a few days on the blood thinner. I also got some compression socks wearing 24/7 for now. [/QUOTE]
