Loss of power to arm.

[LesJames]

I am on an INR of 3.0 - 4.0 recently. I felt my Left arm losing power and had difficulty in lifting it to my head or above. I checked my INR as I have my own tester, it was fine. I felt a warmness around my elbow on the inside. Gradually it went away. I generally felt unwell and slept for almost two days. I put this down to visiting my Aunt who lives 240 miles away, which I took 5 day to navigate. I know that DVT's can occur whilst on medication even with an INR such as mine. Could this have been a DVT in my Arm/Shoulder? I have had 5 previous DVT's all in my lower calf.

Sounds like my right elbow, it was diagnosed as Bursitis but refuses to improve, I've had it for over 6 months now and if anything it's getting worse. Resting it, icing it didn't work so I'm carrying on as best I can.

Thanks I have often had bursitis in my knees. The problem areas atm are: Shoulders, knees and feet. Happy days 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I have a new one on the back of my hand near the wrist joint! I have resisted the urge to whack it with a large hard backed medical tome, as in a comedy movie! Regarding you LesJames some times carpel tunnel if you have been gripping something, can cause funny sensations, ie a long drive, steering wheel etc etc, or Repetitive Strain Injury, best to get it checked out though.
