Thanks for keeping us informed Duffy, I second on what Bina said "Tons of good vibs & (((hugs))) for our Bro Brian.

Three steps forwards and two steps back....... it all sounds familiar me; you feel good and you do things, then you do more things then the next day you feel crapy and sore. It happens, try not to worry. If you can pin point the pain it's the muscles and your bound to have some muscle spams too...

As with most medication, 'take it as soon as you remember' and resume your regular time.

Just wanted to say Hi and Welcome a fellow Canuck from Saskatoon. You got questions and you found the right place.

Yes, I have. Thought it was the past 5yrs and only in Canada.

Kolyur, I've read this thread and the results you got from the Coaguchek monitor and the results from the lab. Two questions: 1) are you keeping the strips in the fridge? if you are don't. 2) Do you have the monitor 'set' on INR? The Coaguchek monitor has 3 settings; %Q , Sec , and INR. BTW...

Always happy to say "Hi" to another Canuck (pellicle wrote Canchucks lol), there's nothing like having a warm puppy to make things feel better and knowing laughter is the best medicine.

Health Canada is recalling several pacemakers built by St. Jude Medical after the company warned doctors and patients about a battery defect. The batteries of the devices could die earlier than expected, Health Canada warned, with no warning. The effected devices are: Fortify Assura DR...

Good for you, but did you know it takes 6 weeks for the flu shot to kick in.

Perhaps. Tis the season for allergies, that may be causing the coughing...dunno but you always try taking an antihistamine to see if that helps.

FWIW Cranberry juice is known for assisting in healing & avoiding UIT infections.

Cage fighter????? uh no - I'd then have a true excuse/reason for this 6 inch black bruise lol BTW it's been about 6 yrs since the black eye which was caused by an hiding item falling from above my head & the bruise on my right cheek was probably caused by hitting the corner of a table, although...

Rather ironic there should be such a post. ICE is the answer, for 10min to 15min once or twice an hour. Like almost_hetic mentioned, I too don't how I get these bruises, but as I type I have frozen peas on my lower back on the upper left "cheek". This bruise is not purple but black, I figure I...

I'll be thinking of you come Thursday Steve, pls keep us informed

This "Phantom Pain" you're experiencing could be the nerve endings trying to heal.

A535 will make your INR go up. I was told by my doc to only use a tiny dap, no bigger than a head of a stick pin 4x a day or when needed.

FWIW: Icy Hot may interact with warfarin, I know A535 does.

How many weeks since your surgery? You could try: - while sitting straight, slowly push your shoulders down and back while moving your neck/head forwards and hold for 10 sec. Then doing the same shoulder movement move your neck/head forward and hold for another 10sec. Repeat both movements 10...

There are some stretches one could do but if the pain has brought you to tears it's time to get a massage.

Zinc for a sore throat, I use the lozenges, saline nasal spray and any antihistamine and of course Tylenol is basically what I use with no effects with the INR. Good Luck & hope your feeling better soon.
