Hey guys.
Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with this stuff some months ago.
Basically, just to briefly explain what deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is.. it's the blood clotting in a deep vein. Of the leg, in my case. After a training session (I train Bjj, as you can deduct from the title) I sensed some deep pain in my calf and some insensibility in my foot.. and surprise surprise, the ecodoppler gave me this unexpected diagnosis.
It's still unknown if in my case it was caused by genetic conditions or by some other reason, there are literally too other much. And since now I'm under anticoagulants (coumadin) for at least another month before the next check, there is no way to know anyway until I'll complete the cure (it could easily go up to other additionally three months or even more, no way to know it now again).
Anyway.. let's leave aside for a moment the depression from all this situation and the horrible sense that my Bjj path may be already arrived at the end.. I just want to know if some of you guys gone through this stuff and came out of it. Or not. Whatever.. I would like to just hear if somebody that trains bjj (or wrestling and judo of course) have/had/is having some experience with this condition and would like to share.
Thanks.
