Hi Martha,

From what I've read, Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen are two types of pain medications that do not thin the blood in and of themselves.

So the OTC meds you were on prior to starting Warfarin are both fine in that regard.

However, I would still recommend talking with your doctor first just to be on the safe side.

You can learn more about this drug on the page for Warfarin Details

Have you also considered looking into things like acupuncture or essential oils for additional pain relief?

But I have a read that ibuprofen can make your stomach bleed, so best to stick with Tylenol.

Tylenol ruins your liver.

According to my doctor, you cannot take Ibuprofen when on Warfarin. Nothing with aspirin in it. You can take Extra Strength Tylenol (as long as there is no aspirin in it).

I have been taking coumadin for 6 months now for DVT left leg. I first started off beening very dizzy. NOw I am having mucles aches and burning to my entire body. I am sure this may be related to my Coumadin. However, my doctor doesn't seem to think so. Tried other blood thinner, my leg started to swell & look really bad.
