Congratulations on your 4th year anniversary. Sorry I can't answer your question but I'm sure one of our heart warriors will. Be well and God bless you
Sounds like a bit of arthritis. Is it all your joints that hurt or only one or two? I know cold and inactivity can bring on joint stiffness in many people. If all your joints are hurting, I would get that checked out by your doctor.

Hi guys!. Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone here who's able to bare a chile while taking warfarin? Before my surgery my doctor told me thatvit is still possible to bare a child while on medication. How is that possible?
I was on blood thinners during pregnancy due to a massive blood clot in my leg. I had to do injections of lovenox until after I stopped nursing. So you can do blood thinners just not warfarin. Best of luck!
You need proper care from doctors during pregnancy while on waefarin but it is definitely possible. More difficult with more factors to consider, but possible. It helps to have a doctor who's on yr side and ready to take the necessary steps.
