What medications should I consider taking that 1) won't increase the risks of internal bleeding 2) reduce inflammation efficiently?
Note - Diclofenac works very well for me but is known to be "hard" on stomachs.
What options? I am on rivaroxaban (blood thinner) and my RA is becoming aggressive?

I have never had a problem with my rivaroxaban. But if your having this problem ask if you can go on the injection heparin maybe see if they will give that a try for you. I was on injection for years then went on rivaroxaban. But I know there is another blood thinners you can take also but cannot remember the name of it my brother is on it. Maybe speak to your GP or your blood consultant. Hope this helps.
