"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."

Thank you for sharing, couple years ago my husband was only 36 and he had a blood clot, not to mention he has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, but the doctor said just to wear compression stockings, long long story short, he kept complaining about pain in his calf so he changed physicians, and he found the blood clot.
Thank God 🙏 now he's on a blood thinner, I'm guessing for the rest of his life!!

Thanks this is very informative! I came here because my mother in law has been in horrible pain for 3 days from her back thigh area. She went to the ER and they couldn’t find anything abnormal, they said it could be DVT and gave her pain killers and sent her home. Kind of upsetting that outcome but I believe in 🙏🏻. Keep up the good work guys!

[lukehood]

I 🙏 for all those in pain and ask for you to be healed in Jesus name

I truly enjoyed this video. They are personable, they don’t speak to slow or to fast and I was able to understand everything said. Thank you ❤❤❤

I’m at an appt right now waiting for a scan bc of this video. Hopefully is just muscle cramping but I want to rule it out. One thing the nurse said on the phone is that they have had more clots lately where it is just the cramping and not redness or swelling. So always good to get anything ruled out they said and not wait for other symptoms.

You guys didn't mention sciatica pain that may be traveling down the leg: but, you always make me smile. 😊

Our daughter, age 23, died after having a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot behind her knee breaking loose. It was a horrific experience and I wish I would have know more about what to look for as she had complained in the preceding days about pain in her legs after a long airline flight....Thanks for the info!

[clintstinkeye]

It happened to me.
I died in the ambulance and 40 minutes of CPR is not fun to wake up from.
Full recovery. 👍

Strange how you posted this on the day of my aunts funeral. She died from DVT and a pulmonary embolism 💔 thanks for posting

[arealious]

Man these comments are depressing. Thanks for giving me anxiety?

[firefawnakl]

You are both the absolute best. I literally use your videos to refresh knowledge and to build on knowledge for work as a wilderness EMT (volunteer ems so always looking to learn more) and this was a test we were never taught! Love this!

[jennenglund]

I have health anxiety and this has been one of my biggest fears for a couple of years so hopefully this video helps me some! Ps I'm pregnant so this is a huge concern for me currently

[dreabaronyork]

This one hits close to home as someone I know died at the age of 30 from a blood clot in the knee. I've had lung blood clots so I'm always concerned about having an unexpected blood clot elsewhere 😒

[terryhuffaker]

I always play their videos at faster speed because there is so much banter and I need the information yesterday!! 😅

[lizarosa]

You guys together are so helpful are such angels. Thanks so much. 🙏❤️‍🔥🙏❌⭕️❌⭕️

I got mine last year @ 35yo. 4 dvt in the leg. Hurt pretty d. bad but only in the morning before taking advil. Lived with the pain for about 6 weeks before severe swelling set in at the knee. Kinda wish I went in earlier but figured they'd just turn me away and tell me to man up lol. 9 months later it's somewhat better after a vein treatment and eliquis. Pain is better but not quite resolved yet. Thought I'd share.

[markboyce]

Thank you very much for this video. I found it very very helpful. I have blood clots in my leg and you help put things in perspective for me. It’s funny because everything that you described in the video was exactly how it was with me exactly.

[lswilcoxon]

Oh wow so I had a clot right above my knee in the back. I also had bilateral pulmonary embolisms. The only symptom was heavy breathing when walking up steps....until I coughed up a little blood. A year and a half later my right leg hurts and when the pain throbs my leg jerks. Going back to my PCP Saturday

3 million!!! I’d say you likely ARE the two most famous. Thanks to the jingle/song for sure I doubt anyone would forget your names! ✨
