Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I woke up this morning with muscle soreness in both thighs and both biceps and it s not from exercising. I m on warfarin (4 mg/day) due to previous DVT in left leg (clotted from groin to ankle in 2002, Greenfield vena cava filter present). Also take 40 mg/day simvastatin and 250 mg/day metformin. Thanks, YYYY@YYYY
