Have DVT And PE, On Lovenox And Warfarin With Tramadol. Started To Get Lower Back Pain. Cause?
Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to a muscle sprain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The low back pain that you are having is not likely to be due to the medicines that you are taking. The pain in the lower back can be due to-
1. Lumbar muscle strain- due to tear or pull of muscle fibres.
2. Infections like paraspinal abscess.
3. Lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, etc.
Proper diagnosis involves investigations like X-ray and MRI of the spine after an examination by your primary physician.
The treatment will then depend on the cause.
Meanwhile you can get some oral muscle relaxants prescribed and see if it helps.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Increasing the fluid intake will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Since you are a diagnosed case of DVT and PE, it is difficult to be off warfarin in next 4-6 weeks. Still to improve your chances, you need to increase your fluid intake and protein intake.
Do keep monitoring your INR levels.
