Hello!
Okay, so I'm going to quote section 16e of the Above Network's Terms and Conditions.
16e.) Illicit Activity: Discussion of illicit activities, specifically the use of mind-altering drugs & substances, engaging in computer hacking,
promoting criminal hate, discussing sexual relations with minors, and furtherance of financial schemes and scams are strictly forbidden. You will also
not link to sites or online content that contains discussion or advocacy of such material. Any Post mentioning or advocating personal use of illicit
mind-altering drugs will result in immediate account termination.
i) Narcotics and illicit mind-altering substances: Due to abuse of the subject matter by some (promoting various aspects of personal use, and
discussing actual personal use), no new topics on this subject are allowed in any form.
Now that's out of the way; I will try to word this accordingly.
Firstly, and not in regard to pain, I am under the impression that you have a clotting disorder that is treatable with Warfarin. If this is not the
case, the following may still be of interest to you.
A nootropic compound called piracetam has been demonstrated to be a safe and effective -- standalone or in combination with warfarin -- antithrombotic
therapy (1). For everyone else reading this, antithrombosis translates to "against clot formation within blood vessels."
I use piracetam on a daily basis in order to achieve a nootropic effect. That being so, I feel that it's important to note the following. I also have
a rare clotting disorder -- factor VIII deficient hemophilia. Essentially, my blood does not clot as efficiently as the vast majority of the human
population. Despite my medical condition and the antithrombotic action of piracetam, I have not noticed an exacerbation of hemophilia-related
complications. The absence of hemophilia-related complications, from my personal experience, is consistent across the dosage spectrum of piracetam --
nootropic-level dosage to antithrombotic-level dosage. Therefore it may be reasonable to infer that while piracetam acts as an antithrombotic agent,
it does not have a detrimental affect on the coagulation cascade to the extent that an individual's normal clotting abilities drastically altered.
Now, on to pain. Pain sucks. That being said, you may find the following informative. Before that, I'm going to write the opening to my reply again in
case it was overlooked.

The following plants have been demonstrated to exert antinociceptive effects: Corydalis yanhusuo, Mitragyna speciosa, and Picralima nitida (2). Keep
in mind that these plants are, at least in the United States, not approved for medical use. They are generally legal to possess if not intended for
human consumption.
