Muscle Pain From Warfarin? (Page 6)

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.

I have been on Warafin for 3 years after a stroke. Works good preventing stroke but I have sever body pain every day I think as result of Warafin.
Anyone else?

Hi Natalie. I live in Sydney, Australia. I had a PE event in 1998 and the Specialist in their wisdom place me on alternative dose of 5 to 6 mgs daily. Everything I have read on this site is so relevant to my symptoms (i.e. muscle pain, nausea, dizziness, etc). In the end I became fed up over the whole thing. I decided to take matters into my hands and looked for alternatives to keep my INR levels between the desired levels of 2.0 & 3.0 with a much reduced Warfrin intake. In the last year without my Doctors/Specialist knowledge I reduced my Warfarin intake to 2mgs daily and combined it with Omega 3 X 6000mgs. My last 12 INR levels results have been constant at 2.4. Apart from the ‘Fishy Burp’ from time to time, I DO NOT experience any muscle pain or fatigue or dizziness since I covertly decided to take things into my own hands. I feel for you and all others who have and experiencing these terrible side effects of Warfarin and associated prescribed blood thinners. After all people, these ‘Professionals’ who have prescribed this medicine know that Warfarin is just another word for ‘Rat Sack’.

I know exactly how you feel, I have been on warfarin 10 mg daily for 5 weeks and my whole body hurts especially my legs, but sometimes my chest, my arms, my stomach. I keep thinking something else is wrong, wondering if there is another blood clot or something worse, it has made me very anxiety ridden. It's good to know I'm not the only one.
