well i had foot surgery in august and yesterday my doctor realized i had a blood clot in my leg. this is after my telling the office at every visit and calling once to tell them i was having really bad pain in my leg. they told me it was muscle aches.

anyway, i'll step away from my bitterness for a moment! lol my question is that now i am on coumadin and my foot is still very swollen and painful. i had been taking ibuprofen 800mg for the pain but now i'm unable to take that due to the coumadin and an interaction. they say i can take tylenol but honestly, tylenol has never done anything for me my whole life. has anyone dealt with pain while on coumadin?

thanks for any helpl. : )

i'm sorry, i guess i didn't explain myself well enough. i'm never quite sure how to write these things! lol

yes, the pain in my foot is definitely due to the clot, not the coumadin. sorry if i phrased it wrong. and yes, i did see a vascular doctor yesterday who diagnosed it by an ultrasound.

the original problem was that my orthopedic surgeon never followed up on my complaints and now i have a much longer recovery and have been put on coumadin (something i am not too happy about!). my problem was that i was taking the ibuprofen to help with the swelling and pain i was having in my foot and leg but now that i am unable to do that due to the coumadin,so i am trying to figure out what to take for it. tylenol has never really worked for me but it seems like my only option and i was just wondering if anyone else had any ideas.

does that make better sense? thanks a lot. : )
thanks for your post and i hope
