tooyoungtobethisold asked:
I have advanced osteoarthritis, stenosis, fibromyalgia,etc. and have recently been taken off all pain relievers. I will be on Coumadin the rest of my life. Right now my pain is 8 out of 10. I can’t function. Does anyone have a pain relief med. that doesn’t interfere with Coumadin? I’m desperate. Thanks for any help.
I may not take common pain killers because (1)they affect the efficacy of the Coumadin and (2) they make internal bleeding much more likely. Topical ointments give only mild relief.
I have been to a pain clinic in the past, but they have treated specific areas, like my lumbar spine.
I think I need a rheumatologist who understands the problem of balancing the Coumadin side effects with the right level of safe pain meds.
Is there anyone on Coumadin who has found such a combination?
