What Causes Soreness In Arms And Legs Along With Elevated INR Levels?
Question: 1 week ago today my INR was so high it could not be read with the finger prick. Needless to say I have not had any warfarin until today
2mg. And 2 mg tomorrow and back for a check Wednesday. We found the reason for the high reading and it was resolved. Now
my question is, besides having large bruises. I just do not feel well. My muscles in arms, legs and everywhere else are sore. I seem
to flush easily and not all the time. Could the high INR cause me to not feel well

Brief Answer:
it can cause this temporarily
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
Having a very high INR can cause microbleeds in some of your tissues and this can cause you to have a general feeling of being unwell. These microbleeds in your muscles and tissues can cause pain and irritation until they are resolved. Your body will heal itself but the blood in the tissues is very irritating and can cause pain. I do not think that the flushing is related but hopefully that too will resolve as your body heals itself from the bleeding that occurred when your INR was so high. I wish you the best and hope you are feeling better soon.
