I was given no information. I left the hospital not knowing if I could exercise or be active.
Thanks for making this video.
Absolutely nothing was said to me by anyone after blood clot diagnosis, after pricedure for stent placement. Nothing. I was 80. Alone. Scared. Nothing said about how I might exercise or continue to live alone. Thank you for your help and educafion. .
Thank you ladies. I was just diagnosed with a blood clot in my leg and did not yet know what to do to get stronger. This was very helpful.
Thanks so much for this information. Very little information has been given to me about post DVT activity. I have been quite anxious about returning to exercising, but this video has relaxed my anxiety immensely and my guilt for not exerting the same level of exercise I performed pre-DVT. GRADUAL PROGRESSION is an important step on the journey to recovery.
I'm
Thank you 🙏 very little information available for post blood clots I appreciate you!
Two beautiful souls ❤️❤️Thanks a lot becoz I'm suffering from DVT and this exercise and information was how important for me. 😔
THANK YOU THOMBOSIS FOR SHARING THIS LOVE THIS AND GOD BLESS YOU MORE
Thank you for this video. We would love more information about PEs and help to recovery.
I’m a very fit, slim and healthy runner yet still got a freak DVT through the contraceptive pill. These exercises are for frail and much older people who rarely move. What should be taught is the threat of Post Thrombotic Syndrome in the leg and how it can be cured or hugely improved.
You're right, of course, but there are a lot of elderly people, post DVT, who need to know this. You know what advice you need, so please look elsewhere ad don't criticise professionals for doing their job
@@PhillipYewTree I’m certainly NOT looking for anything. I paid for procedures at a private, specialist vein clinic in London, after I lost seven years of my life to leg ulcers, which not one health professional, in our NHS, told me about. I had to delve and delve and research this all myself.
The procedures I got were carried out by Professor Mark Whiteley of the Whiteley Clinics. He pioneered laser surgery, performing the first radio-frequency ablation in the UK in 1999. He once worked as a vascular surgeon for the NHS, but broke away when he knew that venous patients were being done a disservice. I have gone on to help and point numerous people in the right direction, who have lived in compression for 30 years and had no clue they could be cured or at least HUGELY improved.
So stuff your pathetic layman advice and take it somewhere else🖕
@@PhillipYewTreeThe problem being is these nurses have no clue how venous insufficiency can be treated and are just robots. The NHS is still treating varicose veins like they did 150 years ago.
I have paid for the correct procedures and am now cured, but not before I lost 7 years of my life to venous ulcers through no fault of my own.
I have helped numerous venous insufficiency patients who have been in compression for 30 years with not a clue that they could be cured or the very least HUGELY improved.
Cost me £6,000 in 2018, and was the best money I ever spent. The sad thing is the NHS have these procedures in their NICE Guidelines, without the experts to carry them out.
OP Just like you I was active and still got DVR that led to PE.
@@PhillipYewTree I absolutely will ‘criticise’ so called professionals who give out puerile advice.
Thanks very much for all your advice , very helpful .
Thank you so so much!!
Thank you so much for this advice and for uploading this. I have been trying many times to get these kind of information on the do and donts from healthcare personnel here in Spain, but without any luck, Many thanks again.
Simple and doable, thanks for demonstrating..
Thanks .
.all we need is our determination to do it . At our time simple easy exercise .
Thank you for this valuable information, ladies. God bless you.
Thank you so much for sharing...
Thanks for the help....

Thank you very much.
Really helpful. Thank you very much🙏
You ladies deserve recognition. Thank you!
I've just been diagnosed with 3 PE in my right lung, im receiving treatment but its early days. I am struggling to get a breath just walking to the kitchen,
Im trying to learn as much as possible to help with my recovery. Thank you for this video.

I hope you are doing well! Take care of yourself.
Many Thanks 4 sharing.
Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing God bless you 🇳🇬
Thank you very much for all the advice given. As a post DVT patient I was afraid how should I start doing exercises. But you smart ladies gave me the confidence and guidance to get on the track once again overcoming the anxiety. Thank you so much.❤❤
Thank you girls. This helped. 👍
Thank you so much
Recovering from DVT/PE,thank you for helping relieve my anxiety about recovery,was given very little information when i was discharged from hospital about exercise and recovery. 🙏👌👍
facing same issue.
currently unable to bear any weight/effort from the same side arm, not sure when can i start it.
when did you start therapy? are you back to normal now?
@@diauser3327 i did the exercises in the video,but primarily i started walking for 10-15 minutes a day and now im back to normal,it took 5-6 months to recover from my symptoms. Good Luck and stay positive,things get better.
@@acb7074 thanks for sharing your experience. how long were you on medications [is it blood thinners]. when did your chest pain subside? was it immediate after medication started?
Does chest pain occur...? I was not told about any exercise.... And do u smoke...? It is hard to quite smoking..Leg hurts while walking...?
@@MoviesReviewChannelAnyLanguage in case of PE, clots are moved to lungs or formed directly in lungs and the chest hurts. yeah i dont smoke.
Thankyou so much 💓 this video is very helpfull 😊
Thank you for this video it will help a lot👍👍👍
Thank u 🙏💚
Muchas gracias por la información 🌷🌷
Thanks a lot
Thanks ladies. This complements what my physio showed me.
Thanks for showing exercise
Good Day. Nurse may God bless you all for this Info
Thankyou
Good video !
Excellent💯👍👍
Thank u
Thank you. I have been seeking advice oabout this
These exercises were very good for my keen
Thank you for this video, I wish I had found this 2 months ago after my diagnosis of DVT in my leg. I have had so much conflicting advice from the hospital and GPs and have had a lot of anxiety about the clot breaking off and going to my lungs if I excersise. This had given me confidence that if I get slightly out of breath walking that I will be ok, which before was a major source of anxiety for me. I wish my hospital had a service like the RUH
Thanks 🙏
From India
I received no information about PEs or exercise other than the Anticoagulant booklet. So yes we all need more information and help on this as I am struggling
Debbie Ferguson when I left the hospital after I had my clot I asked the nurse directly about what exercise was safe to do and was walking safe and she had said that was fine but to stop if it hurt or I was puffed out.
;
Okay
Thank you so much! I am recovering from a CVST and I am getting weaker by the minute...
الجنة تحت أقدام الأمهات ….طاعة ماما وبابا يصدق كل كلام ماما لأنهم ببيبقوا متفقين
nice explanation doctors, are these for post -diagnosis or post-recovery?
my case is PE in left side lung. still have pain in chest and shortness of breath with very mild exertion, unable to do any exertion or weight bearing on same side arm.
when can/should i start these therrapy to gain strength? do you recomend me to start any breathign exercises now?
good share tqsm
Thanks for ur help God bless
Good video! But you need to check with your doctor first because I heard that a clot could break off snd go to your lungs or something. I know there’s a foot pedal machine or massager but I want to wait until I am completely healed and no clots left. I thought I was getting enough walk or breaks while sitting at my home job but I wasn’t .
Thank you all the way from Kenya,DVT is depressing&here I have very little info...
Hellen I am in Kenya. Was given clopidogrel and Avastatin. Pole Sana. Mungu atusaidie
@@garamabe6891 amen,thank you..I am not familiar with them...will check out
Thanks for the video
So sad that I was discharged from the hospital after an operation for PE/DVT and was not told what to do.
After months of recuperating at home, I decided to go and play basketball and do some 'military-style' exercises but after the second session, I felt some discomfort. As a result, I stopped.
However, this discomfort has developed into sharp pains in my right chest. I have been to the Cardiology hospital. That area is not their speciality but offered some help. My dosage of Rivaroxabán was increased from 15 mg to 20 mg. That was last month. This month I had to revert back to taking 15mg since there's a shortage of the 20mg which some doctors are prescribing to their COVID patients.
The hospital that specializes in Pulmonary issues in Mexico City has for the last 6 months decided to see only COVID patients! So I'm left hanging...
Might want to talk to a dietian too. Life changes are as important.
Can I take my stockings off if I exercise ? The stockings are long term wearing but I’d like to know if I take it of when exercising as the leg gets abit hard and stiff
Thank you so much for this video and booklet. I have had such difficulty finding any information on how much exercise I can do after my unprovoked pulmonary emboli; my GP could offer no guidance at all. I was Nordic walking before the diagnosis and I'm still not sure whether, or when, I can start doing that again as it is a strong exercise for the upper body. Can anybody advise on this? Thanks
I need exercise for PE patients since I diagnosed with Full PE in the right and left lungs and I was exercising fitness daily with dumbbells
Dear person who is reading this!
I am a 25 year old young man who has a DVT that affected my right arm. It's located right underneath my right collarbone (vena Subclavia). This incident has happened exactly 8 months ago, and after my Doppler ultrasound test the doctors determined that the blockade went down from 60% to 30%. My doctors suggested that I start doing the exercises with 1kg and 2kg weights. Could you perhaps make a video about what type of exercises I should be doing? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in this subject, and not the only one suffering like this. Thank you in forward!
Same I got 2 blood clots jugular,subclavian and have severe pain down neck into r arm and I’m struggling to exercise
Thanks my dear friends
I already have a DVT in my calf thats left me bed ridden its so painful. Therefore, I'm not able to do those chair exercises on both feet. Would this still help in any way?
Any other suggestions for my situation? Any video titles you know that can help me?
Can we do these exercises in case of both DVT and pulmonary embolism?
Any recommendations on how many times a day to do this?
can you allow the viewers to add captions on this video in deferent language my parents are in need of this but they don't speak English
Thank you for the professional advice about exercise as a rehab. I was examined by the cardiologist who pronounced that I have Ihd. They gave me a lump of medicine together with an antihypertensive I was already using.
I had shortness of breath and I decided to walk to give my heart muscles some workout. The first few days walking a km was hard as I use to have shortness of breath. Now after four weeks I walk approx 15 -20 km a day. Do you think walking this much is ok or I have to reduce my walking?
Please respond. I'm 62 and a little obese. I've incorporated lifestyle change in diet as well.
initially when you were having shortness of breath walking, you had to gasp harder for breath right? you kept doing that right?
I am just gonna start to get back active
Hey
How long have you being taking the medication
Can this help prevent as well ?
Hi where are you based? I was diagnosed with PE while pregnant 3 months ago and i had no idea i should be doing any of this and i think it would really benefit me
Hi guys hoping for an answer I currently have dvt in my upper thigh and am struggling to walk more than a couple mins. Would these help me at the current time thanks.
Thanks so much. I’m terrified to exercise after my DVT and PE and need help
Just got released today from the hospital because of this and they want to put me on Xarelto. This is my second DVT/PE, the first time was 10 years ago and I was pregnant with my second child. My insurance may not cover my medication 🙁
@@monisolaelliott9346 how are you doing now!?
@@elizabethrodriguezmendoza7892 hi Elizabeth. I have just had my second one. Frustrating and I'm so exhausted (I have Crohn's and arthritis, too). Hope 8 months later, you are on the road to recovery. My first took me a long time. I am wanting to build up my fitness, slowly but surely. All the best to everyone on here, going through these life changing conditions - and thank you, ladies, for this great video.
Hi. If you do not mind ne asking did you have chrons your first time as well. Even though you was pregnant but did you still have chrons
@@dydyaiken Hi. Sorry if you were speaking to me when you asked about the Crohn's; when I refer to "my second one" I mean my second PE. I wasn't pregnant. I was diagnosed with Crohn's same time as my first PE. Hope that clarifies my original comment? Look after yourself.
Hello. I have DVT in arm biceps - v.brachialis.
Taking xarelto. Can I swim and can I stand on plank? And how much? Best wishes!
We went through DVT surgery. Can we do this now?.
Hi all, I’m curious as to if anyone that’s previously had a DVT knows how to get rid of the ache/pain that still occurs when doing something like walking for 30mins to an hour and just stays there for days. I was diagnosed with my DVT about 2 years ago, i was on my anticoagulant for the time they told me to and they recommended I stay on them for life as my DVT was unprovoked, I refused and have been off them ever since. I’m trying to find a natural way I can just restore my legs health to somewhat of what it used to be and actually be able to walk longer than 30mins… anything’s that helped you pls do leave a comment, would much appreciate it!
What about to reduce the body weight or go for a walk but my legs get's tighten so much please do advise me thank you.
Could you please show the excersie if the blood is Clotted in the hip position due to medicine side effects.... please help me regarding this please please please
