Symptom narrative

My left leg became very sore. I went to my PCP on 5/11/21 and she recognized that it was a blood clot and immediately had me get an ultrasound at the (withheld) Health hospital in (withheld city, state, address). They quickly determined I had 3 blood clots in my left thigh. I was given a referral to a hematologist in (withheld city) (don't remember her name, but her office was in what is now called withheld name, city, state, address).

Lab data

The hematologist put me on Xarelto which I took until Dec 2021. During that time she ordered blood tests to check for markers for clotting disorders, had a CT scan of my thigh area to see if there was a particular physiological defect that could cause clotting. She also questioned me about my blood relatives/ancestors and my own medical history to see if there was any history of blood clots. All of those results came back negative - no family or personal history, no blood markers, and no physical defect that could cause blood clots. Basically, they were "idiopathic". When I asked her directly if they could be related to the COVID vax I received only 2 weeks prior to the blood clots, she said, "There is no way to tell." In December 2021 I stopped Xarelto in consultation with her and have not had any subsequent blood clots.
