She had black and blue on her chest her left leg and her back.The doctor said she had a brachial plexis stroke,she still can not move her arm,hand and fingers. Will it every come back,what can she do. Thank you Rick
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has brachial plexus stroke.  It will become normal.  But she should maintain her INR between 2 and 3.  It is ideal therapeutic range of blood thinner.  If it increases further than chances of bleeding is there.  Consult your doctor and set the dosage of warfarin accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
