[QUOTE="sjwilley, post: 147393, member: 12583"] I have had 3 DVTs - one associated with a bad foot break before I ever started TRT, one last November, when I was playing around with blood flow restriction training, and one currently - apparently attributable to nothing other than the risk resulting from long term damage left over from the first clot. Although I definitely experienced leg swelling and uncomfortable pressure build up (all of mine were in calf veins), I did not experience the other symptons you described with vision and your neck, so I'd ask the doc about that if I were you. I think there is probably SOME increased clotting risk among folks on TRT, particularly if you have let your red cells increase to the point that the blood is effectively thicker and harder to move around the body. Periodic blood donation could be a good way to keep track of your red cell count and help manage risk associated with an elevated count - not to mention helping other folks who need blood. Good luck going forward. That said, I suspect most folks on TRT have no experience with clots. As others have noted, some folks do have a genetic propensity for clot formation, and it makes sense to find out if you are one of them - in which case you may need to take a blood thinner indefinitely. As a 3 time loser on clots, I have been told I should stay on blood thinners permanently. It doesn't seem like the end of the world - although it could interfere with blood donations to manage red cell counts. [/QUOTE]
