Q: I take a blood thinner for my irregular heart beat and have osteoarthritis, what can I take to relieve the joint flare ups and paid when I exercise?
Many people really like a topical treatment called Biofreeze which is available without a prescription and worth a try. And it is perfectly safe for anyone taking blood thinners.
