Good morning all, hope you are coping well.
I recently had surgery for Spinal Stenosis in my lower back, but on coming out of hospital developed a dvt in my leg. Due to this blood clot I have been put on Rivaroxaban (blood thinners). Because of this blood thinner I have had to come off of Naproxen (anti inflammatory) which I have relied on for pain relief for years. I also take Methotrexate and have Infliximab infusions every 6 weeks. I saw Rheumy last week and asked for an alternative to Naproxen but was told I had to go to GP. GP is reluctant to issue alternative without consulting Rheumatologist! Has anyone else had this problem and what alternative did you get? Thank you.
