I just got discharged today I had a DVT and they also found small clots in my lungs and signs of past small clots that have gone through my lungs. I smoke marijuana and was wondering if it would be a bad to try to use marijuana as a pain killer instead of percocets at this point?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You should not use marijuana as painkiller. Marijuana smoking is known cause of DVT (deep venous thrombosis) and Pulmonary embolism. So better not to start marijuana smoking again. This will worsen your condition. You need to take blood thinner medicines for at least 6-8 months to dissolve blood clots. Avoid broccoli and other food which are rich source of vitamin K. So start blood thinner medicines and continue on it. Avoid marijuana smoking. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
