muscle weakness from blood thinners like Eliquis

Thanks for the link. I have used Google scholar before, but not for this topic. I had a VTE approximately 10 years ago, and I was told by my pulmonologist and hematologist that I would be on a blood thinner for the rest of my life. I had back surgery due to back issues. I did not have the pain while on Celebrex, but I can't take that anymore. The pain started when my dose was decreased to maintenance. I wonder if I'm not thin enough? Is that the cause of my pain? Thanks for your response.

@sheila64 I suffered a PE incident 2 years ago related to my lung cancer. I was gasping for air on my usual easy 20 minute morning walk. I was given Eliquis 5mg 2x daily and was reduced 4 months ago to 2.5 2x daily.
I had been exercising with weights and intervals regularly before this PE even after I had a lobectomy in 2016. After the PE and Eliquis, I noticed a decline in strength and stamina. I just can’t get past a certain level. Also, started having some muscle weaknesses and eventually back and hip pain I’ve been at PT to take care of that. I also have had Hashimotos and low thyroid most of my life and that has been controlled with meds but these last 2 years I thought it was my thyroid but Blood tests show no changes in thyroid.
