A member asked:

On warfarin - fell and hit head and side.dr said no internal bleeding - just strained muscle. can this influence inr as next test not for six weeks ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Injury by itself: with all other things being stable, should not affect your INR. If you change your diet or take new medication to treat eht injury, this might affect the INR>
