Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Mom is 97 and is in hospice. She is on coumadin and has suddenly developed severe pain in her hip. 5 years ago her hip was fractured and surgically repaired with a plate and screws. The hospice nurse thinks she could be bleeding into the joint due to coumadin. What would be the best non-narcotic way to manage her pain?
