Went for my appt with the RN and she mentioned purchasing the Tinzaparin to self inject for eight days. I haven't heard anyone here mention that they had to use it. No way in heck I could give myself a needle. I would have to drive to my doctors office every day to get her to do it. Has anyone here been on it? If so, was it recently?

I was on it...my surgery was Dec 14. It really isn't a huge deal...they will show you how to inject yourself in the hospital...since it is going into fat, you barely feel it! My mom is having her surgery on Monday, and is also worried about the self injection...lucky I am a nurse! :) But honestly, it is simple to do, and doesn't hurt!

Yes I had to do it for 30 days because I had DVT in the past. No bug deal. These are very small and very thin needles. They will teach you.

Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

They are to help prevent blood clots. They would have talked about it in the orientation as you have to pay for them. It's in the orientation booklet.
