HI, thanks for using Healthcare Magic,
With the Warfarin, she would not be able to use the anti-inflammatory medications such as Naproxen or Ibuprofen or Voltaren because of the risk of bleeding. She can use medications such as Paracetamol, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Tramadol etc. She can also use topical aids such as Voltaren gel. Physiotherapy would also help as well.
I hope this helps
