Interesting about the warfarin. I was put on a heparin analogue after my PE earlier this year and taken off the celecoxib as a routine order by the consultant. 'Because it would interfere'... except because it put me into real trouble with the arthritis my GP started researching and discovered the celecoxib was not contraindicated for heparin as the incidence of clotting with it was so minimal. Apparently there has been a huge multiyear study just completed after celebrex was thought to be involved in heart problems, and the drug has been totally cleared of those potentials. Which is great for those of us with severe osteoarthritis. So she put me back on the celebrex, along with a mild drug to protect my tummy, and everything has been much better for the last six months. Just panadol for bad pain days. Just as well as being a cheap drunk, opioids and narcotics make me very ill and ibuprofen is almost as bad.
Mind you the sooner I can get off these anticoags the better. For some reason I dislike taking them a lot - age denial probably!
Anyway, I hope your pain is better. It is a hard thing to deal with.
