Tainted Heparin

Tainted Heparin

Thousands of people were given this Tainted Heparin since taken off the market in 2008. I was one of them and I was given this poison in November of 2007. I have seen about 20 different doctors since this all started when I developed a blood clot after knee surgery. EMG testing has shown extensive nerve damage in the leg that was operated on, and another neurologist says I also suffered damage from the nerve block shot before the surgery. Since I have been given that tainted Heparin I have developed a wide range of health problems, most related to pain and edema. Even now, 8 months later, I still have that blood clot, the EMG is showing that the myelin sheath around some nerves is missing, I have a lot of edema, I have pain from the bottom of my ribs all the way down to my feet on both sides. It is always moving around, and I am also finding extreme atrophy in my legs and stomach. The doctors I have seen are clueless to the tainted heparin problem out there. Most I have seen know the surgeon that messed me up, and they are doing everything they can to find something else wrong with me to blame my problems on. Does anyone have any information on this tainted heparin and who i can talk to? I need help ASAP as this pain is keeping me from being able to work much at all. I need to find a doctor that is willing to do what needs to be done to find out about this heparin and how to help me. i also would like to find outhers that are experiencing the same or similar issues that I am. Any information you can give me would be very much appreciated!
