A member asked:
I have a pe in my right lung and have been taking warfarin for 5 months now. i get stitch like feelings is that area.is clot still there?

PE: The stitch may be pleural scarring or irritation, doesn't necessarily mean clot is still there. If you've been well controlled with warfarin the clot should be gone by now though some scar tissue may be present. Discuss with your doctor.

Maybe but: Probably not. If your pe was huge, there could be some of it left but it is unlikely. The stitch feeling could easily be due to something else that isn't related to your pe. I would recommend that you see your doctor and have an evaluation of what you are feeling.
