Definitely not Coumadin, most likely Lovenox. Good luck, hope it goes away without any fuss.
Can you explain? I'm curious

Auch, this sucks, get well!

Unfortunately, this is why people are not supposed to sit in the same spot for 12-16 hours a day. You have to move more, like, walk outside and stuff.

I'm very happy to hear you shared this so openly. It does pose a risk for prolonged streamers and this information is invaluable for those unaware of the risks posed to long streaming times. Get well soon and wish you the best, as well as your return to streaming!

you've managed to scare so many people!

Ever heard of the video gamer who died? Nobody ever found out until the rent was half-a-month overdue.
If you reflect for 15 seconds a day on the fact that your conscious existence has not always been, then that's 15 seconds a day of life lived.

Positions that obstruct blood flow (sitting down, cross legged sitting ext.) are the worst offenders.

For those of us who have desk jobs, how should we sit then? if sitting down and cross legged are both offenders, what is the best thing to do then?

Proper keyboard and mouse ergonomics only go so far. Take a minute or two every 30 minutes or so to stand up and stretch. You could also have a stand for your monitor/notebook at work like this (or some cardboard you put together yourself) so you can stand up to type for a while: https://www.amazon.com/ORISTAND-Standing-Desk-Converter-Workstations/dp/B01FG4U1SA
Barring that, there are sit down/stand up convertible desks, but those get expensive.

How come you have compression soxs and why was that your goto response, if you don't have a clotting history?

It's popular athletic wear. I've always seen it touted by certain ads as having general benefits.
