I was sick back in august with what I thought was just broncitis. They did an ekg because I was having chest pain and it came back fine so I was put on antibiotics (since chest pain is pretty common with broncitis). Well when the chest pain didnt go away I was really short of breath I called my doctor I went back in and they ordered a CT scan to make sure it wasnt a PE or pnemonia. Well it wound up being a PE so my doctor told me to go to the er. I only stayed for three days. they didnt find a DVT and I was told to take it easy. (Now granate I begged for them to let me go home asap I hate hospitals so the doctor told me I had to stay a minimum of 3 days but if I could learn to give myself my shots then I could go home!!! I was back in the hospital 3 days later with excrutiating pain in my legs. They admitted me to the hospital for 3 days again for observation... This time I was in so much pain I didnt care!! They did give me strong pain killers! I slept the whole three days!! They found nothing and my doc contacted fellow doctors that had delt with coumadin a lot and they said that muscle pain is a very very rare side effect. I also threw up everything I ate all I could keep down was crackers... It was the most miserable month!! I lost 20lbs! I had to change my insurance (that took a month) so I had to just suffer until I could change to lovenox, which I did in Oct 1st and I was on it until a month ago. I am now off of everything and feeling better week by week! but like you I feel lucky that it wasnt worse. They think mine was cause by birth control. That was my only risk factor.
