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.

Interesting article....I am not a doctor, but if you have a holistic physician D.O. or M.D. you might discuss:

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.

I HAVE NO NERVE TO READ ALL THE ANSWERS SO ILL TELL U MY STORY. I HAVE BEEN TAKING SINTROM,NOT SMALL DOSES FOR ARHYTHMIA,BUT AT LEAST A PILL A DAY,SINCE MAY 1998 AND I HAVE NO SUCH SIDE EFFECT FROM IT. BUT I DID HAVE MUSCLE PAINS AND IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED FRO A STATIN,10 MG,THAT I HAVE BEEN TAKING FOR A LONG TIME TOO. NOW I HAVE NO MORE MUSCLE PAINS. I SUGGEST U IGNORE THEM AND IF U TAKE PAIN KILLERS TAKE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE COS ULL RUIN YR STOMACK. AND,INSTEAD OF CONCENTRATING ON THIS POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT OF YR BLOOD THINNER,U SHOULD LOOK CAREFULLY AT YR DOSES AND YR INR. WHICH MEANS LOOK AT WHAT U EAT,WHERE THE VITAMIN K THAT SINTROM KILLS IS,IN THE GREENS. I DONT SUGGEST U STOP EATING GREENS COS THEY ARE PRECIOUS FOR THEIR CHLOROPHILE AND VITAMIN B9,FOLIC ACID. INSTEAD,TRY TO FOLLOW YR INRs AND YR DIET,SO THAT U CAN FIND A SHEME OF HOW MUCH OF GREENS NEEDS HOW MUCH MORE OF SINTROM. FOR ME ITS AROUND A FOURTH OF A TABLET MORE ON THE DAYS I EAT A BIG GREEN SALAD. AND TAKE SINTROM IN THE EVENINGS COS U MEASURE YR INR IN THE MORNINGS,WHICH IS THE MID TIME OF 24 HOURS. AND,ONE MORE SERIOUS ISSUE. VITAMIN K THAT YR SINTROM KILLS IS NOT ONLY MAKING YR BLOOD THICKER BUT ITS NEEDED IN YR BONE FORMATION. SO U CAN EXPECT SOME OSTEOPOROSIS AFTER SOME TIME OF TAKING SINTROM. THEREFORE KEEP YR SINTROM INTAKE IE YR INR AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. DENPENDS ON WHY U TAKE IT. BUT NOT LOWER THAN 2. I SUGGEST U BUY A MEASURER OF INR,COAGU CHECK,A GERMAN APARATUS. IT COSTS ABOUT 800 EURO AND EACH MEASURING PAPER IS ANOTHER 5 OR SO EUROS. BUT ULL BE FREE FROM LABORATORIES. U CAN HAVE IT WHENEVER U GO ON A TRIP AND MEASURE YR INR JUST LIKE THE DIABETICS DO,ONLY THEIR APARATUS IS DOUBLE SMALLER THAN OURS AND CHEAPER,IF NOT EVEN GIVEN FOR FREE. EVEN IF U ARE POOR BUY IT. ULL BUY YR FREEDOM. AND THEN LEARN AS MUCH AS U CAN ON THE INTERNET ON WHAT FOODS HAVE VITAMIN K IN THEM,FOODS WITH MORE THAN OTHERS IN QUANTITY,AND THEN DONT AVOID THEM,BUT BE AWARE OF WHAT U HAVE EATEN IN THE GIVEN DAY AND THEN IN THE EVENING TAKE AN EXTRA 1/4 OF A SINTROM TABLET WHEN U HAVE EATEN MUCH GREENS. FINALLY ILL TELL U THAT KALE HAS THE MOST VITAMIN K OF ALL PLANTS. MUCH MORE. SO MAYBE DONT EAT THIS,OR IF U EAT A LOT ON A GIVEN DAY,TAKE 1/2 MORE SINTROM THAN IS YR DOSE FOR THAT DAY.AFTER KALE ALL GREENS ARE FULL OF VITAMIN K,SPINACH PARSLEY BROCOL LETTUCE ETC. AND AGAIN FINALLY,CONSIDER FINDING OUT ON THE INTERNET OR OTHEWISE,I HAVE FAILED SOFAR,WHETHER VITAMIN K2,WHICH IS EVEN BETTER FOR THE BONES THAN K1,IS KILLED BY SINTROM OR NOT. I MEAN IF WE CAN TAKE K2 AS SUPPLEMENT FOR BONES WITHOUT RUINING THE EFFECT OF SINTROM ON BLOOD THINNING THAT WE WANT. AND IF U FIND IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW ON MY EMAIL:

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 ;)
