I've Had Blood In The Water After My Bowel Movement--first
I've had blood in the water after my bowel movement--first time ever.
I am on Coumadin because of my artificial heart valve and PT/INR tested weekly--range 2.5 to 3.5, 3 being
optimal. Last tested Thursday, January 12, and had reading of 2.7. Week before was 2.5, so I'm in the low
end of the range.
I've had severe leg and muscle pain and had one treatment Friday. Lots of rubbing, massaging and heat
applied to left leg and physical exercise there and home. Go back tomorrow, Monday, for therapy and will
tell them. I've had to sleep with heating pad which could be causing bleeding. Less pain today and heat.
