On Rhythmol, Xarelto And Digoxin For AFib, Arthritis On Left Foot. Will It Require Cortizone Injection ?
my husband is taking Rhythmol, xarelto and digoxin for AFib . However he is having arthritus problems with his left foot. We have an appt. tomorrow with a foot MD and just want to make sure in case he wants to do an injection of cortizone or whatever that we will know beforehand if they will cause a drug interaction . We are very aware of the restriction of not taking nsaids or anti-inflamatory drugs.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The arthritic pain that you are having on the left foot can be easily controlled with the help of pain killers and hot fomentation if it is not severe. If the pain is persistent then do consider getting the steriod shot.
