Anti-inflammatory food

I had a replacement aortic valve 17 years ago and take warfarin and statins daily. Have low vitamin D and IBS - problems with wheat and dairy. Have now got plantar fasciitis and last week had a root canal tooth redrilled leaving me in agony - swollen jaw, extreme pain up to my ear and down my neck. Am having two lots of antibiotics and co-codamol. It would be good if I could take an anti inflammatory as having ibuprofen really really helped (took 2 when in agony). Am worried about the effect the drugs are having on my INR. Does anyone know what I could take instead of ibuprofen?

You should not take ibuprofen when on Warafin as it will affect your INR, if it were me I would speak to a pharmacist or your Doctor, if you are concerned about your INR you could ask for an earlier test

Hope you feel better soon

What about acetaminophen/Tylenol extra strength?

Thanks for replying. Does Tylenol have another name because I am from the UK and have heard / read about it but never known what it was?

I have been taking co-codamol which is codiene and paracetamol but you can only take it for 3 days it says because the codeine is addictive and the paracetamol is bad for your liver. It isn't anti inflammatory though.

Hmmm, call your care provider and tell them of your discomfort and ask them to do something else for it. Best of luck! I never heard of co-codamol!
