warfarin side effects

Hi,
Could someone please help?
My father, age 61 has been on Cortisone all his life (for Asthma treatment)
- this resulted in an enlarged heart and the need to implant a pace maker.
I recall he has always taken long to heal from leg injuries (cuts, etc).
He was placed on Warfarin at the time of his pacemaker. Since his Warfarin
treatment he has had endless leg ulcers which refuse to heal (even after
skin grafts) he also has problems with swelling feet, has problems walking
etc. Is there some alternative to Warfarin? Is there something that can
be done? Are the ulcers related to the Warfarin?
With Thanks
Shaun
