A doctor has provided 1 answer

You on blood thinner: If you're on blood thinners such as coumadin (warfarin) or any of the newer generation anticoagulants then, you should see your doctor immediately if the pain doesn't either disappear quickly or gets worse..especially if bruising begins to be seen. Otherwise, you've unknowingly overstimulated what sounds to be either your sciatic nerve or stretched the L4 or L5 nerve roots in the back.
