By : By the date of your post almost a week has gone by. Hopefully you improved and/or you saw a doctor. For anyone reading this post or to the author of this question, in a situation such as the above a medical evaluation is needed immediately to rule out DVT (deep vein thrombosis). The Coumadin (warfarin) may not be therapeutic (at a level where it works) which could result in another dvt. I hope you are better.

See your doc soon!: The er will spend a lot of time getting up to speed on your history and be forced into redundant testing more likely.

Dvt: Sounds like you should bo to er asap
