I'm taking the Indomethacin and Darvocet for pain. Some other night time pain meds also that don't do squat. I'm off the coumadin for three days as my INR/PT blood level was 7.1; meaning it was 7.1 time thinner than "normal" blood. Ought to be 2.5-3.5. I also had some other anti inflammation drug that attributed to the higher reading. Felt like a drunk sailor on ship taking the stuff. The gout is nearly gone. It feels like a million evil elves inside your ankle with hammers pounding away on the bones and joint. Good news is I'm getting old....
