Patriots C David Andrews hospitalized with blood clot
 

Ouch, that's nothing to mess around with.

Think this is what Okung had too

Get healthy soon. Football is just a game.

12 weeks of anticoagulation at least, more depending on other factors. Hope he recovers well

What are the symptoms of a blood clot similar to this?

Indeed it is. That's crazy, man. Hope he gets this straightened out and can return to form.

One in your lung? I've had this happen after a surgery......basically it made me feel like I was gonna pass out like things went dark on me. Then I just felt super tired and not myself and my breathing was a bit off but not much. I went to the hospital and they found a small one in my lung, I was there for a day then had to take thinners for 6 months.

That's rough.

I wonder what the medical advice is for guys taking Coumadin or a similar drug? I can't imagine you could play.

They gave me Xarelto, I was basically told to be careful and if I were to slip and smack my head I could die.

Yeah, it's nothing to mess with. I have to get clearance from pts physician before extracting a tooth or any surgical procedure I do.

Bleeds like crazy.

Chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate

To be fair, the converse is also true. Stopping the medication has risk as well

What a selfish bitch...sitting in a hospital on his ass. He owes the fans. He could have decided to have a blood clot right after the end of last season, but NooOOoOOo, he waits until 2 weeks before the season starts. He needs to get back out there ASAP because we demand it.

For sure.
