You need to ask your GP or pharmacist. We on this forum are not qualified to give advice on medicines or treatment.

I hope you can find something that helps.

Speak to your GP. You should be able to use ibuprofen gel, or one of the other topical gels.

NSAID gels are absorbed to some extent, not as much as oral one, but shouldn’t be used with edoxaban unless ok’d by Gp. Even as a pharmacist I wouldn’t make that call, would refer back to GP.

This is exactly the sort of question your local pharmacist likes to answer. Much better than an impossible to reach GP who are not always aware of the interaction of one drug on another

unfortunately you can’t take any anti inflammatories with edoxaban. You need to get checked out for gout as there are specific treatments. Plus - did this start before or after these meds?

I have absolutely zero knowledge on this-so this is a question really rather than a recommendation ..

Would turmeric and black pepper either in tablets or as food additive help in this instance and is there any reason that this could interact with any drug? Would a pharmacist know?

A while ago an NHS dietician recommended this for inflammation.

I also have OA on my big toe due to an injury long ago, I use a daily Glucosamine Sulphate 1500mg tablet to keep it successfully at bay.

just cocodinal. I know it’s a pain once your on blood thinners. As we age arthritis becomes a real pain
