A member asked:

I'm taking coumadin (warfarin) for blood clots to legs. since taking med i started having stinging, burning and numbness to both legs. is the med causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The warfarin itself is unlikely to be causing your leg symptoms. The discomfort may be due to change in circulation from the blood clots themselves.
