my mother (who is on coumiden) had a blood draw two weeks ago. within two hours a lump grew in the are and reached the size of a lime. It has since gone down to the size of a ping pong ball and the nurses say this is normal. what caused this and should i be worried?
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Patients on Coumadin have increased risk of bleeding as they have high INR ratio.2. Increased bleeding possibility leads to hematoma formation, which has now occurred at the time of blood Chat Doctor. 3. It will reduce in two weeks and is normal for patients on Coumadin therapy. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
