[|Human|] My husband had a stroke on Nov. 29, 2014. It was caused by A-fib. He is on Eliquis 5mg 2 times a day. He was given the blood bursting drug and by evening his MRI showed no sign that he had the stroke. His speech was slurred, mouth drawn & right arm was tingling. He now has a soft knot on the back of his left hand that is the size of a marble. Could this be a blood clot? If so how dangerous is it? He also has episodes of his speech being slow. It takes time for him to get words out.
[|AI|]  I read your question carefully, and I understand your concern.First since he still has some symptoms I doubt that the MRI had shown he had had no stroke. Perhaps the doctors meant that the MRI showed the blood vessel to have been recanalized, meaning blood flow was restored after thrombosis (blood bursting Chat Doctor. As for the soft knot on the back of the hand, certainly is not the same clot as in the stroke, but I don't think it's a new clot either, clots are formed and spread inside the arterial blood vessels, wouldn't be visible. It's hard to say what it is without being able to see it but I don't think it's a clot. I hope to have been of help.
