Re: Me again..my face is still swollen..hard blood clot

Hi FOB
I can hear your frustration and totally understand how hard this all is. The issue of preventive anticoagulent therapy seems very variable in the NHS. Some surgeons absolutely insist on a full 14 days post op treatment yet others do nothing and even on the same unit!
Hang on in there though as it sounds like your body will eventually drain the fluid away naturally from your face.Wonder if sleeping in a more upright position may stop pooling of fluid overnight?
When will you know the outcome of the randomisation??
