SCREEN 4 CLOTTING: RADIAL THROMBOSIS is very unusual. You need a Screen for clotting disorders these clotting disorders can run in families and if treated appropriately you will do well.. They sometimes flare during this time . FAC V DEF /MTHFR / Protein C&S/ Homocysteine/B12/Folic acid/RPR/ANTICARDIOLIPID AB/CIRCULATING LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT/AT3. Also a Hematology consult to go over treatment options.

Thrombosis: if its truly a thrombus, causing a clot and your loosing feeling to the finger go to the hospital now. you may be having arterial blood flow compromise, and causing irreversible nerve damage. go to a hospital that has vascular surgery so they can evaluate you properly.
