The Problem with Blood Thinners

Being on coumadin (blood thinners) this year and being prohibited from taking anti-inflammatory medicine (ibuprofen) stinks.  That means when I need pain medicine, I can either take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or big gun meds (narcotics).  The word picture for this is I can either make ugly faces to remove a mosquito from my leg or I can blast it to Kingdom Come with a shotgun.  Neither response seems entirely appropriate.
