Joint Injections while on Warfarin

[bradvo]

Hi again. You have all been so helpfully informative.

For those on Warfarin, what do you do about injections right into the joint for sports injuries/ osteoarthritis/ etc.?

Injections like cortisone, Synovisc, prolotherapy, etc.?

What about a less invasive Rx like acupuncture?

Do you not do it because of potential bleeding into the joint? Do you "bridge"? Or do you not worry about it and go ahead and do it because it's not a big deal?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been getting cortisone and Synovisc every 3 to 6 months for over 5 years in knees and shoulders. I finally broke down and had one shoulder done 5 yrs ago. My knees are soon. You will be fine
