I've been taking Xarelto for 6 months. Anyone have acute muscle and joint pain on this drug?

YES! I have had this same thing going on for over a year. I have fainted twice (in one day) become a fall risk. I have fallen three times now while just simply walking (not due to tripping or stumbling) I get dizzy and imbalanced easy. Dr. swears it's not my Xarelto. I have been taking it 3-4 years (can't remember precisely) I also have acquired mild liver damage and was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year. feet will swell up and/or becoming tingly, and all sorts of other things. I am looking for a new PCP (was recommended to see a functional medicine Dr.) and discuss going back to Lovenox as my maintenance anticoagulant. (never had ANY issues on that long term)

Good evening I am new to this site. I have been on Xarelto since 2021. I am currently experiencing severe balance and neuropathy throughout my body ( at times want to do away with myself. I have been to all the large University hospitals up and down the northeast and am dismissed saying Xarelto cannot be the problem. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms

I have considered taking Xarelto but after the many complaints such as your, I decided it's not worth the risk. It did not used to have this side effect as far as I know, and I trust the people writing in here to know the truth about how they feel. Wishing you good luck on your journey. Read all these reviews and you will find your answers.

Beth : Your muscle fatigue will persist after discounting the drug. It disabled me to limited walking distance of 1/4 mile before total muscular fatigue. I have to wait about 3 to 5 minutes to recharge, and then am limited to about 1/8 th mile. My back is very, very weak and weight exercising is extremely difficult. Physically this drug has been devastating. I am attempting to take corrective action, however it has not re-established my physical abilities to near prior to taking Xarelto.

I took it for 3 months and complained to my Physician about excruciating muscle pain and weakness. It was so sever I could not stand nor get off of the floor. I finally refused to consume it!! I have been attempting to overcome the constant fatigue for the past 5 yrs, with limited results. It has devastated my life!!!

I have been taking blood thinners for years, I suffer with chronic pain and discomfort and have reason to believe that Blood Thinning Medication is part of the problem because my pain got 10 times worse and at times unbearable, I started my research years ago coming up against a brick wall when trying to find out information from professional's. I have been through all the blood thinners including warfarin, my pain in my leg muscles and ankles joints increased, has anyone else had the same problem.

I had the same thing happen to me with Eliquis -- check the resources on Google and you will find the
same outcomes. I am now miserable with osteoarthritis and it is irreversible. I was taking it also for PE.
I asked oncologist if it would be safe for me to take Vitamin E along with ibuprofen and he took me off the Eliquis.

I started Xarelto 2/22/22 because of a PE in lungs. 30mg for 2 or 3 weeks then 20mg until I demanded off of it on 7/12/22. I was sure it was Xarelto that has made me so sick and weak and pains throughout my body, barely able to walk. Of course I saw doctors who said Oh no Xarelto wouldn't cause this, Bull, why are they defending this Crap they are shoving down our throat. I continued with a Hematologist and he didn't think it was Xarelto either but recommended a Rheumatologist because of all my severe pain throughout my body. I feel every day is my last day, I just can't go on with my pain like this every day. This doctor (Hematoloist) did take me off the 20mg and I'm on Eliquis 5mg a day. Of course i have only improved somewhat but recently Blood work and EMG's scheduled for Aug.1 & Aug.3 because of pain. So will hopefully have some answers by 4th or 5th of August, 2022. Praying some how this can be reversed the damage it has done to me. I'm praying for sure. DON'T TAKE Xarelto.

Would like guidance on supplements used as a blood thinner. I cannot take aspirin, so that's out.

I am allergic to warfarin/Coumadin and found that just one dose of Xarelto or Eliquis starts the horrid pain all over my body. It is a very distinct pain different than my fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica and arthritis.
I have researched comparisons of aspirin to these blood thinners. I chose to take 325 -500 mg aspirin each day along with Omega 3s, natural Vitamin E (not the synthetic dl-alpha), coenzyme Q10, resveratrol, magnesium and garlic. Would be glad to explain how to find reliable, safe supplements.
My specialist at Duke U Hospital thinks this is a good alternative. Also working on decreasing inflammatory foods, especially wheat, sugar and vegetable oils. I stopped margarine and artificial sweeteners a long time ago.

I have been on Xarelto since 2012. The past year and a half I have had extreme pain in both legs and thighs, as well as sometimes in my back. I never thought about the Xarelto finally catching up with me. After reading some of these other comments on Xarelto I suspect it may be the medication.

I was prescribed xarelto after having had a stroke a few years ago within a few hours I was having a sever gout attack my hand was badly swollen & I was in severe pain. I went on to suffer severe joint pain for months sometimes I was on crutches. eventually i told my doc that I wasnt taking it any more so I was put on Warfarin This drug shouldn`t even be on the market in my view it cant have been properly tested or the side effects would have been realised years ago
