Muscle Pain From Warfarin? (Page 6) (Top voted first)

Hi. I have been taking warfarin for 4 months. Prior to my PE when landing home from a long flight I was very active running and swimming every day. Since the attack every muscle and many leg joints ache all the time. Is this a side effect from medication? Thanks.

You should have your blood factors checked. There are about 30 different ones. Several of which affect warfarin dosage and INR numbers. Factor 5 and 8 I know affect it.

I've been on warfarin for 4 yrs. The joint and muscle pain and stiffness is constant. I wear compression socks. The itching is INTENSE when I remove them. Lotions help but the cause bothers me.

Have been on warfarin 50yrs, now 72 yrs old. Had several PE. Major heart attack @27yrs. Have had all the side effects, inserted Greenfeild Filter in Venae Cava, never had PE since inserted. If it wasn't for warfarin i would not been living today. Difficult medication yes, most important to keep your INR well monitored.... Howzat for warfarin....Rep of SA.

Been off Warfarin for 83 days now, no pain what so ever anymore. Don't know what all this medically dependent on Tramadol is all about, don't matter if your on it or Warfarin if you have had PE's then you have to take something or run the risk again. There will be something new coming along in a few years. Told Warfarin clinic about it and they said they wanted to put me back on Warfarin to see if the pain came back then they could be sure it was the Warfarin...... No thanks ;)
