I am on warfarin and recently started with joint pain and stiffness I have been looking for something that will help but seems like there is nothing that doesn't interfere with it!! Surely there must be something out there apart from paracetamol !! Totally fed up

Voltarol or ibuprofen gel applied to the area seems to work well. Also stretching and movement.

My GP told me that NSAID gels are o k as little gets into the blood stream but used sparingly. Paracetamol or codeine are fine.

Each time I have been on warfarin I had pain in my weight bearing joints. It went within a few weeks of stopping it.

I only seem to get these symptoms at night but I've found the combination of Voltarol gel and codeine allows me to get a good night's sleep. I have been taking a combination of Omega 3 fish oil and Glucosamine for many years to avoid stiffness in my joints and this has kept them supple.

Hi I take organic flax seed oil, it seemed to work ok with Warfarin, not on wafarin at the moment, but it is a nuisance when you can't take anything, recently had infection in leg, the pain was really bad.

Hope you find something.
