    I have pain in weight bearing joints that I blame on taking Warfarin  for AF as have many others. Once you stop it your INR goes back to 1 after a day or so,

    I asume that you have been told to stop taking it. Initially I put the nlame on the Amaranth and E numbers in the 1mg tablets but that has been removed from them.

      You are fortumate not to need it any longer.

      Someone I know complained of pain in his knees. After he stopped Warfarin I asked if he felt any different. He said, No.

      I asked him how his knees were and he said that they were better but he had not made the connection.

    It's a known problem with warfarin...even though your GP will probably deny it.

    My husband suffered for three years, but after many arguments he is now on Apixaban and so far has had no problems...fingers crossed
