Jalen Hurts out this week due to blood clot

[Bigrandrn]

Very serious, and even more serious that they've discovered that it moved in only a few days.

If I were Philly, I would shut him down.

Na, no reason to do that. A superficial isn’t the same as a DVT, they don’t all turn into PEs. They also need to figure out the cause……virchows triad……I’m sure they will test for coagulopathy, maybe not due to vascular damage, perhaps just venous status from the flight. It happens. Most time it’s not a major deal, treat with anti-coag and rule out coagulation disorder. If it’s something like venous stasis from a long car ride or flight, u don’t need to be on anti-coags long term. With superficial clots, they aren’t as serious.

They’re actually different.

Hematoma is when the vein is damaged and actually ruptures. The blood leaks out and pools. You can usually see it like a bruise.

This thing is a clot. The vein is damaged but doesn’t rupture so the blood coagulates inside the vein to try to heal it

Source: dad is really old and his veins have had both types.

He’ll bang his hand a sometimes the vein will leak blood and make a bruise or a mark. Very common for old folks.

He also has varicose veins in his legs and knocked his leg against some furniture and it caused a clot. It didn’t make the bruise, like on his hands, but he had a knot. His was small and he didn’t even get meds.

The clot is definitely more serious than the hand bruising for an old person but for an athlete in the prime of his life, this is next to nothing . They just don’t want him to bang it again and make it worse

Sorry about dad

I heard if goes on blood thinners to treat it he will be shut down for the season.

How come so many athletes are getting blood clots? I think we all know the answer that has been silenced.

Sorry about dad

Thanks! He’s absolutley ok. He’s a medical marvel in many ways. Still has his wits and mobility and is probably in the 1% of mind/body for people his age.
