Dealing leg pain and swelling fpr over 6 months - having 2 DVT test and 3 MRI's they finally found that I did have a DVT in my left leg and now I am taking Warfarin as of May 30th 2008. I now have severe joint pain, sore skin/sensitivity, my vision is going I can hardly read anything all of a sudden, so exhausted, sleeplessness - even after taking an ambien and getting some sleep, I can take a shower dry my hair and I am ready to go back and lay down because I am so tired. the doctor says thin blood does not carry oxygen as well so this is why I am tired. I am not anemic as I just had that checked. I can feel my muscles getting weaker. From reading what everyone else says it must be this drug, but I don't think I could live without it since my clot is so massive. I feel like my life will end soon I am getting weaker by the day...is this just my imagination? I know I am depressed but I do think all of the symptoms I am having is from the warfarin(besides the pain from the DVT which is still very painful)

Not a cureall, but ask your doctor about pressure stockings. Not pretty, but I did find that they helped with aches and pains to some extent during 'bad periods".

I am a 27 year old female and had a PE in the lung three months ago. I have had weird bone, muscle, and joint pains which have been increasing. I have also had headaches and blurry vision. I have spent literally hundreds of dollars going to various doctors and getting many different tests done. No one has ever mentioned to me that these could be side affects of warfarin. I have become tremendously depressed that I have a degenerative disease that no one seems to be able to identify. While this should be the happiest time of my life as I am getting married in July, these pains sometimes have made me consider if I should be planning my funeral instead.However, now I am glad to become aware that I am not alone and that many other people are experiencing the same thing. Thank you and God Bless.
