Arthritis

[bowlingqueen]

I had a triple heart bypass 2 years ago and am currently taking clopidogrel, a beta blocker and a statin. I am suffering with stiff fingers and aching wrists as well as other aching joints the pain of which is getting worse. I do not want to bother my GP at the time of this coronavirus epidemic so is there any over the counter medication I can buy that does not thin the blood. I heard good reports about turmeric but I believe that is a no go for me

No you cannot take tumeric when on a blood thinner. Can you take arthritis strength tylenol . I do take tylenol and tumeric only for pain. Occas a baby aspirin but not right for you. Can you email your doctor or call and ask the office if they can ask the MD for suggestions. Not really a good idea to take advice from non professionals on the matter of medications b/c even over the counter medication can interfere with your prescribed medication. Good luck, I hope you get something for your pain that helps you
