"I have been on this medication since Dec. of 2021. It’s now April of 2022. There is bruising and pain at the injection sites. I had a DVT in my left leg.

"After being scoped by my urologist, I was instructed to inject Lovenox twice daily. Immediately, I had anal or rectal bleed. I was in the hospital for three days. I will never take Lovenox again."

"I took Lovenox to prevent blood clots after having an emergency C-section with my twin boys. It has been 4 months since I quit taking the shots. I still have pain at the injection sites. Has this happened to anyone else?"
