I'm post-PE and now on lifelong Pradaxa (following a month on Clexane). I see that the written material I received advised not receiving massages or tattoos while on Pradaxa... does this mean I can never have a massage again? (Oh the bliss I will miss!)

Has anyone had any experience with this (good or bad) that they can share?

Many thanks in anticipation.

    I can only suppose that pradaxa will make you more prone to bruising.
