Max Mitchell: blood clots

[Larz]

I take 2 injections a day for my clots. Not fun. Good luck Max!

takes courage to play football with a history of clots 

[Larz]

[slimjasi]

Bummer. 

Get better soon!

Lovenox shots for 6 mos then they'll check his INR every week or 2 for a year or so. He'll be fine.

Well I did have a blood clot that led to a pulmonary embolism that put me in the hospital for a week so I am familiar with this topic

Crazy... saw today that ex jet Henry Anderson missed time for having a stroke caused by blood clots this year

They're going to slap a surgeon general's warning on all future contracts.

I remember that. Scary stuff. 

[Sarge4Tide]

But JetNation told me he was addicted to opioids as a result of his recent injury?

When it's to getting anything factual jetnation is on par with facebook & the enquirer.

People in this forum with rumors are worse than an old ladies knitting circle.

Assuming the whole hematology work up comes back ok.  It should.

Vinny Curry came back after a year, but Chris Bosh had to retire.

[genot]

Good luck Max. You'll be fine  Hopefully you can still participate in the weight and conditioning program. Sorry I speculated about it being an issue like mental heath. Like what Hertz suffers from

[WILLY]

Wishing the best for Max - Love to see him back next year!

[HighPitch]

sucks. Id play out my contract and then retire and be set

[Matt39]

Yikes. Glad they caught it early.

Factor 5, right?  Gives idea of your genetic predisposition to clotting. 

[Dunnie]

All good thoughts going to Max ... will pray that its a freak occurrence.

What if he has factor V Leiden ?

[the Claw]

I’m very disappointed that it’s really just a health concern and not something that I can be outraged about. I just don’t feel like this is the Jets anymore. Leave it to Saleh to feed us lies though. So many lies. Just lies everywhere.

I guess he retires and is on warfarin for life.. 

[Spoot-Face]

Sucks. Blood clots can be scary. I hope they're right and it's not a long-term thing and he can make a full recovery.

That's a big one, there's a slew of others; Prothrombin, Protein C or S stuff

Basically, if there's a molecule/protein in your body then there's a disease associated with it if it's not working properly; and regarding clotting, it is shocking how complex the "coagulation cascade" is.  The number of different proteins and factors that need to be in perfect balance to make and then dissolve clots.  If just one of them is off, you over-clot or bleed.  This cascade happens every time you cut your finger or fall down.

It probably is a one-off for this kid and I assume they've already done all the bloodwork panels and that's why they are able to say he'll be fine next year.  But one clotting episode does increase your chances of future clots.

yup. I failed on elequis and xarelto so it’s lovanox for me.

Why not Warfarin?  Seems better than shots.  Way less expensive too.

It interferes with just about every medication (which can make you less or more likely depending on the interaction) and also is dependent upon maintaining a fairly strict dietary regimen e.g. can be thrown off by alcohol on one simple night having a few extra drinks  out with your friends.  One of the big indicators when we talk about tissue for mechanical valves with some of these youngerish people. Managing your INR can be easy for some and an absolute beast for others. 

[Chewy and the Jets]

Being an O Lineman for the 2022 Jets has become more precarious than being the drummer for Spinal Tap.

Ah.. I've been on warfarin a decade and been pretty easy to keep in between 2 and 3 but did not realize it can be especially difficult for some.

Get well big guy.  You have a BRIGHT future.  Jet fans know the scouting report - to paraphrase: inexperienced, needs to get stronger, great feet and enough length to play either side.  Will contend to start on either side after adding strength in the lower half.   Ourlads said "he needs a personal key to the weight room."

It was both a blessing and a tough break for the Jets that he got thrown into the fire.  I would have preferred he spent the year in that weight room and been next year's pleasant surprise.  Well we found out what we drafted when we threw young Max into the deep end of the pool.  Bully for the Jets and for Max Mitchell.  I am looking forward to next year with this young man.  As things now stand, he does not owe us - we owe him.   

I am glad the Jets caught it.  Hopefully there will be no complications and he will be ready for training camp.

Tell me those with medical training.  Do those drugs keep you out of the weight room?  Let's hope not.
