anybody have blood clot issues after their major surgury? they pieced my hip back together in april and has been doing real well. thearpy and all. so went last week to get my IVC filter removed during the preop sonagram they find a clot in my knee. naturally they didn't take out the filter and put me back on a blood thinner levenox (two shots a day) going to hemotoligest tues. had flu like systems 2 wks ago now the think i passed a clot then.i'm a mechanic and sure don't want to be on blood thinners.  my knee has been giving me some trouble ( small menicus tear). any ideas?
