Went to the ortho yesterday morning because I now have a lump on my ankle right where my son hit my ankle (cast for 3 weeks, yuck) and he said it is a ganglion cyst and he just wants to watch it for right now to see if it gets bigger or goes away. My question is: Do I need to worry about this with the coumadin I am on? Not really sure what I should do. The ortho said he does not think it is fluid filled so he does not want to try to aspirate it but he does not really want to go in a surgically remove it either since I am on coumadin, but it may come to that. I also am looking at knee surgery for the 5th time in the very near future since my meniscus tears all the time with little or no provacation. Already a little concerned about that too! Thanks all.....
By the way, my INR was 4.9 yesterday, so I took 1/2 a pill (half of 2.5mg) last night and will take a whole one tonight and retest in a couple of days. Can't figure out why I keep going that high. I have been taking 2.5mg per day since surgery May 16, 2008 and have not had any major ups like that except for the last month.
