What Could Bottom Soreness Be While On Coumadin, With History Of Legionella Pneumonia?
I have soreness in my bottom like I have sat on my rear too long, but this didn t start until I was in the hospital last July for Legionella Pneumonia for 14 days. The doctors started me on Coumadin which I am currently taking and I didn t know if this might be one of the symptoms. Should I contact my medical doctor or my OB/GYN?

hi, coumadin is an anti coagulant. it is not the treatment for legionella. why it was started is probably you had some coagulation abnormality during your stay in the hospital. the symptoms you have donot match with coumadin side effect. you may contact your physician for further help. hope this helped.
