What Causes Warm Sensation On The Inside Of Leg While On Coumadin?
Several times during the day I sense a warm sensation on the inside of my left leg. It seems to occur after I ve been sitting or lying on my bed and It last for several seconds. I am 86 and have no other physical symptoms or ailments. I take coumadin to prevent a reoccurrence of a pulmonary thrombosis which occurred 25 years ago. Any suggestions? I do not know what the terms and conditions are.

Hello,
Warm sensation inside legs do not pause any specific condition on large scale. Prolong sitting or lying in bed may provoke certain nerve compression which can pause tingling for few seconds for sure. However, remain in regular follow up with your doc for PT INR evaluation as the Coumadin requires regular monitoring for the dosage guidelines.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
