Hello I am a 63 years old I have just had surgery on my stomach to repair a Hernia and at the same time he re-fashioned a urostomy which I have had 4 years which went wrong and I have to dilate every day. while I was in Hospital I had Clexane injections in my arm mainly left one to stop blood clots, they put them there because there too much going on in my tummy. Since then I have limited movement in both arms which is causing a lot of pain it seems to be getting worse could it be the clexane that as caused it. Thank you Mrs Irene Harnell

hi
I read carefully all your concerns and I am so sorry about the situation.
It may be a side effect of clexane
There are a lot of local side effects of Clexane like pain, erythema, hematoma, red induration .
So, for the moment you can use compresses with cold water at side injection and take tylenol.
All the best
