lukgar1 Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I was curious if anyone who has been mostly in bed or sedentary been tested for this? I've been in bed since last summer. I do get up from time to time but I have never been this sedentary in my entire life. Still not a huge relief in symptoms and everytime I try doing a little more I'm out of it for the next few days. I get pinching pain sometimes so I'd like a little peace of mind in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Several times - there is a blood test for that. It has always been negative knock on wood.There have been several posts here recently about some easy, doable leg strengthening exercises you can do while in bed to keep that blood flowing.Unfortunately pain is a reason for worry a lot of times, and deconditioning due to extended bed rest can be the issue, but only a dr can help you rule things out - be it blood work or an ultrasound of certain blood vessels to rule out clots.Best,Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
