40 yrs, healthy, had subsegmental emboli after 3 wks in bed with herniated disc. genetic factors tests negative. first blood clot test time (drvtt) slow while i was on apixaban, good 2 mths later once off meds. doc think baby asprin for life anyway?

First, complete bed rest to treat a ruptured disc is archaic and not truly successful. In your case, would avoid it in the future as it appeared to be dangerous. Would definitely have physical therapy and practice on your own, McKenzie exercises. Stay active and avoid immobilization.
