Aspirin doesn't dissolve blood clots. It's used more to prevent them. And it doesn't cause ulceration either but that is a good reminder of why you should always take tablets with food unless specified to take on an empty stomach.

To dissolve clots we normally use warfarin (Coumadin usually, or marevan occasionally) or enoxaparin AKA clexane injections which are injected into your fat layer with a small needle.

Both stay in your system for several days.


King will be fine. I believe the clot is in his hamstring muscle, not his veinous system, so most likely very minimal risk.

I've read studies that say it can

Aspirin = cancer of the guts

Well I've been working in the medical industry for over four years, with lots of time spent in surgical wards, the operating theatre and also a period of time in the stroke unit. Given aspirin to hundreds of people - no ulcers.


And I'd rather have a hundred ulcers than a single heart attack or stroke

Maybe it's only for those people that believe in 'an aspirin a day'.

Was gonna say that myself

[Andyy]

Aspirin daily is a good thing IMO. Statistically after the age of 50. Just go enteric coated or with food = no ulcers.

Sorry to go off topic.

All you good folk do realise though that Kingy would probably play with the Ebola virus .

Heard today King has a slight calf strain that he had with the hammy. He thought it was a cork when he recovered from the hammy but realized it was a strain when attempted to train last week. No big deal I'm told

aspirin daily will kill u

[gerkin greg]

would you like one?

[one-eyed]

The Doc (Larkin) says: No new concerns this week. King (round 17 hammy) needs more rehab time to avoid the risk of recurrence. Petterd is in a similar risk phase with a right adductor strain from round 18.

Not in small doses. Will thin the blood and help reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. Even so I wouldn't advise taking aspirin daily unless advised by your doctor. Absolutely no point medicating yourself if you don't have to.

Unless it is for recreational purposes
