Hello Ruth, I had that same anti-clot for 2 days in hospital after op and 28 days at home, yes took all. Not pleasant but its not for long. How many shots did the hospital suppy you with, mine came in boxes of 10 - 3 boxes less 2 units used when I was in hospital.

Hello Ruth, you should have had a form stating what drugs you were supplied by the hospital, for how long you needed to take them - including the clexane also the booklet for clexane

Maybe it's different in the UK but here in the states my doc said nothing about injections. He said I would be on regular strength aspirin.

Yes I did! My stomach felt like a pin cushion by the end! Can't say I enjoyed doing it but was worried about DVT if I didn't! They supplied me with a special box to dispose of the needles and I took this back to hospital for my 6 week check only to be told they couldn't dispose of them!!! My local pharmacy took them!
