Pain in leg muscles, tendons, and knees after Bilateral PE on Eliquis

I have been on elquis for almost 2yrs due PE. I am very active person. I use to participate in tri races and running events. Since I have been on this medicine I have had continued muscle weakness especially on the right side leg. Currently in Pt for torn mensicus. I have developed muscle spasms in my left foot to where my toes will stretch out as far as they cab before relaxing. Hurts something awful. My I teach swimming and having trouble keeping up with my clients. I keep asking the doc if I can reduce the med or something. I just have chronic muscle weakness in my right leg and my lower back hurts right around the si joint. Im so over it and the pain especially towards the end of day
I miss running. I can still bike and swim but those are getting harder to do. This muscle weakness is no joke when one spends their lifestyle trying to do right with their body.

Triathlete/marathon runner and agree elquis destroys muscles and causes a run down feeling. Never napped in my life now after long run or bike need a nap, other issue I have with it is feel cold and have chills. Looking at getting off of it and going to low dose aspirin. Many on it are having issues like what people on statins experience. Some on statins have a statin induce form a myositis wonder if elquis does the same thing.

Your comment are very interesting. Since starting Eliquis I have developed significant joint pain with the worst being hands/wrists and neck plus feeling ‘off’ in the mornings in particular. As the day goes on I get better but still have pain. The marker for inflammation also has gone way up along with my WBC. Haven’t yet spoken with PCP and cardiologist about it but will be soon. I dint feel like working out and I know I could not lift weights of any weight so getting weaker.
