I was on on coumadin for roughly 11 months... It tore my stomach apart (my body only reacted to 12.5 a day) <--- which is beyond any normal dose. My INR just was not get high enough.

I was told it is now a permanent clot and will not move.


My SC reconstruction was the surgery that stabilized my joint.

I have had plenty of ultrasounds and now will be going for a venogram at the end of the month.

This is all a workers comp case so the approval to get PT is not happening. I did however just heard that I will be able to start seeing an acupuncturist.

I am currently not taking any pain meds because of what the coumadin has done to my body, I survive off of Lidoderm Patches.


It means so much to have people to talk to.

Thank you
