I saw your reply to sjtoler down below and I wanted to ask you a question.
What did the clots feel like in your lung? Please reply!
Thank you very much!

I didn't know I had the clots till they did the VQ scan
the pain was very bad, my chest hurt in the boob area, or should I say felt like behind the right boob, felt like someone was stabbing me there, and when I took a deep breath it was very bad pain, they thought at first during the day at a ********* office that it was bronkitis, but got so bad had to go to ER room,they say I was lucky to be here to go to the ER room/ If if can help just let me know. thanks

Thank you so much for replying so fast, 4 months ago I fell real hard on the concrete and 3 days later developed cramp like feelings in my right rib cage, Real tight, cramping, tearing, burning sensation especially when moving around in bed, and better during the day! Now 4 months later if I stretch to the left it feels like it is pulling inside, and sometimes after sleeping at night it gets to feeling sore again, so I get up and the pains go away...I do have a couple sore spots inbetween the ribs and heating pad makes it feel good.
If I'm standing up it feels fine, after I get home from work and sit down in a slouching possition it starts to feel a bit crampy again...
