I had liposuction Jan 18, 2018 I posted on Feb 05, 2018 that I was concerned about leg pain in right calf. My Sx advised me to see my doctor I was told that it was not a DVT too far from PO Sx ... well on April 13, 2018 I was rushed to ER and had a PE. I’ve been on blood thinners for 6 mos. When is it safe to come off the meds? I ask My doctor for a factor 5 test to see if I should stay on the medication , please advise is this a lifetime? Thanks
