Here's a link to the patient instructions regarding Coumadin posted on the website of National Library of Medicine (National Institute of Health.)

Puffy feet can have many causes. I would check with the doctor to see if is caused by reduced heart function (thus not able to pump the fluid efficiently back to the heart), side effect of the medicine you take, or other issues.

Hope you are feeling better every day.

For my swollen feet and further leg clot prevention, you can get mild compression hose at walmart, or drug stores, that is what I wear to decrease the daytime swelling along with frequent breaks during the day with my feet elevated. I agree with the others please see your MD's or onc to figure out reason why! Good lucck
