Good luck!
I follow my regular diet which is full of green leafys. I am doing the injections like you did plus I do not rub the area after taking out the needle. Only one bruise from the shots, the sting is tolerable.

I am a fall risk, that is my major worry about warfarin.
My leg is just about normal size I guess warfarin is forever now.
