Comment:
I do not enjoy having to inject myself. Have been on Arixtra for 2+ years. Have tried other medications to prevent DVT, but additional clots developed, while on the medication.

Comment:
With Arixtra I didn't have the horrible bruising and hard knots nearly as often as with Lovinox. I get a few painful sticks but nothing more than uncomfortable for a few seconds. I'm on Arixtra for life so I wanted something easy as well as effective.

I'm warfrin resistant so after 3 hosp. stays this is it. Some pain during/after injection, but nor horrible. Peace of mind has been huge. Now I know my condition is being treated and a relapse is unlikely.
