Still having lots of pain in the leg after a week and a half. Wife said I should go visit the Doc. I made an appointment today and he didn't like what he saw.
He made an appointment for me to have an ultra-sound and sure enough, I have 2 blood cLots in the left leg, right where my leg smashed the horn on my bike. I've got to stay off the leg for a few days and keep compresses on it. If the pain moves or there is anymore swelling, I'll have to be admitted.
I'll keep ya'll posted!!!

StreetBob.....those blood clots are no joke! I had the same problem. You gotta watch those. They can move on ya and cause all kinds of trouble. Be careful and listen to the doc. Heal up brother. I'll bet you have pain in that leg for quite some time. BOtz

Hope they disappear and don't cause you any further problems.

Damn, if it weren't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all. Be real careful, my dad died from a clot. Get better.

Street- First off.....You Knuckle Head!! You should of seen the doc a lot sooner. I am on blood thinners to prevent those clots. They like to move around and get in places you don't need them.

I had one that made it through a tiney hole in my heart about 6 years ago that put me in the hospital. I was told it was a stroke! That happened after a mishap I had showing my kids stunts that should only be preformed by kids.

Anyway I am still catching up on this sight. I read about yer mishap. Sorry to hear about it. Been an interesting year for a good number of us riders.

Keep that blood thin and don't lay around. Work it out with common sense and don't be too hard on the injury.

It gets better. Take care.

Be careful man and listen to the doc. I know I'm repeating but, it's worth repeating we'll keep you in our prayers.
