I AM 67 YEARS OLD AND KEEP GETTING BLEEDING IN MY RIGHT KNEE. I HAD DVT 11 YRS AGO AND WAS PUT ON WARFARIN AND DRS KEPT ME ON THIS MEDICATION. AFTER THE 3RD BLEEDING KNEE, THEY TOOK ME OFF, WITHOUT REPLACING IT WITH ANY OTHER MEDS. AFTER 5 DAYS, I BECAME VERY ILL, FELT IF I WAS DYING. COULD THIS BE WITHDRAWAL?
Hello, It is a side effect of warfarin. Consult an orthopedic at the earliest and get evaluated. An ultrasound scan of the knee joint is required and if there is significant collection, it must be aspirated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
