I have to be on blood thinners due to a genetic blood clotting disorder. I am scheduled for a much needed rotator cuff surgery in June. I was wondering if any of you out there have had this surgery while under blood thinner medication. Obviously i know i will be coming off the medication a few days before surgery, but going back on shortly after. My concern is how this may or may not effect the healing process. I am on Xarelto.
