    I would not do this because any open wound can ooze blood for a long period of time and every hair that the wax pulls out has the potential for bleeding. You might consider an electric razor right now to get rid of the facial hair until you are off the blood thinners.

    After leg cramps, you have chemical ingredients/acids on your muscle tissues which will collect for a jointly as (very comparable to once you artwork out and are sore, lactic acid is the clarification for this). Blood clots can happen, yet to my wisdom, there needs to be a source for them to originate (such as you bleeding faster or later). Thrombophlebitis indicators are a "gentle, warm spot" on your leg, so i think it extremely is attainable that's what it extremely is. In case it extremely is, do no longer rub it, as this might dislodge it inflicting it to visit the lungs. in case you have any shortness of breath (different than the universal being pregnant "crowded lungs" :) ) or coughing, head to the ER precise away. that is is powerful the rfile scheduled you for the following day. let us know the way it is going.
