Thread Name: BS: Rat poison and foot pain
Subject: BS: Rat poison and foot pain
Do any of you others who take warfarin sodium aka rat poison aka coumadin, have trouble with foot pain? I have had trouble with chronic foot pain for quite some time, off and on, and none of the docs seem to have much of a clue except to say the coumadin may be causing pain in the soft tissues from internal bruising. The podiatrist just wanted to whack me open. My reg. doc, acupuncturist, and I all said no way, not necessary. I found a certified shoe tech who has worked with me for the past year and helped a lot for awhile, but it's worse since late summer. Since none of them seem to have any ideas I went looking online and found that foot pain can be a side effect of coumadin. So...do any of you have this and if so, how do you cope with it?

Thanks!
