Hi Cald, I would like to know whether you are still continuing wit Warfarin. If yes, do monitor you coagulation profile (Prothrombin Time-international standardized ratio), if deranged these pains could be due to developing hematomas in your wounds. Do take analgesics prescribed for pain, if no relief visit closed Emergency for help for a visual inspection of your healing injuries.Do continue your escitalopam.
Please carry on with the treatment you are taking for various ailments. Have simply Tylenol 1tab. Three times a day your pain after trauma will slowly disappear and you will be alright. Reassure yourself that every thing is alright.
