Hello,

Yes, can use Advil but with caution. Better take Paracetamol until you see your primary physician and hematologist. We should evaluate at what extent the blood is getting thinned while on Eliquis? The blood tests are INR and pT-time.

Apply analgesic cream locally. Take oral glucosamine.

Hope this helps.
