Nuxfanabroad Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Could these blood clots(seem to have really increased, recent yrs), be related to any performance-enhancing substance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Whoa. This is very serious. I hope all goes well, but this is a monster blow to the Lightning. They won't be hoisting a cup with Stamkos out of the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a clot moves from an extremity to his heart, he's dead. He seems a very solid young man. I pray he will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuporbust Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Athletes get them most commonly from trama ( broken bones ) things like that , and even dehydration. There are tons of reasons athletes are more prone I guess even all the long distance travel can cause them. Definitely very serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood clots have been associated with the sport for over 80 years. It's a very physical, demanding game that makes one susceptible to blood clots, either as a result of injuries, or surgeries to injuries areas. Though the data shows that athletes are no more prone to clots than your average Joe/Jane, folks tend to think it happens more to athletes...probably because of media exposure.
