Need satisfactory answer very much worried
I am 14 weeks pregnant and was put on clexane 40 mg injection daily for six weeks. I use to take injection daily at a nearby health centre for around 3 weeks. As i live on first floor and getting down daily and climbing back stairs was exhausting me as there is no lift and 2 weeks back my dic asked me to take conplete rest. So i decided to take injection myself on my thighs. I keep switching my thighs daily one day on left and the other day on right u get bruises and all but that us ok with me as long as ny baby us fine. Today i took injection on my left thigh, i did'nt leave any mark or so but it is hurting me now and there is little swelling on the injection area. Normally it hurts when i inject the medicine and it is normal after few minutes. Now it has been more than 3 hours it is still hurting me and the area us little hard also. My question is, is there any major artery, vein or muscle i inject by mistake or whether it is not good for my baby. Please help me get rid of this problem as your replies are valuable. Thank you
I am trying to reach emergency dept but no success as all the lines are busy. I hope all is well. Surely update you. Thanks for your concern
I'm thinking now too I might have injected it just didn't go far enough...Like the medicine I kind of hanging out under the skin. Which wouldn't be dangerous, but im not sure if you would get that dose or not...?
I would call just to relieve stress if nothing else. Ask for someone in l&d at the hospital if you can't get to your doctor, they would be more than happy to talk to you in sure. Let me know what happens, I know it's scary.
Thanks for your quick reply. I pinched before injecting the medicine but i am lil scared i might have not injected properly.
I inject in my thighs as well. I always pinch up the skin before injecting to try and avoid it going in a vein. I know that it's stopped to go into the muscle, not a vein. I would call the hospital or your doctor and ask what you should do. I would just worry that the medicine didn't go where it was supposed to.
Sorry there are many typing errors. I hope you all can get my point.
