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

It's a relief to learn there are many others having the same pain behind their right knee. Tendons and muscles to the point that it's very painful to walk on. I have been on Eliquis for 12 months, The pain in the back of my left leg just onset 2 months ago. I thought I may have injured it during physical activity. However, it will not get better, doesn't matter how I massage or pamper it. In the past Cardiologist don't like to take you off meds. Warfarin is the alternative requiring weekly blood test. Not a joy ride!
I'm not for one to go to the Doctors for every little ach and pain, nonetheless, taking meds is for lifetime. This pain is not going to stop unless I get off Eliquis! Got Afib from Covid Vaccine. Prior to vaccine, I was physically healthy and active. Now I am in pain without any movement. What else is there for remedy? Except quit taking it!

I’m addressing two of your comments.
One, about getting Afib after Covid vaccine.
I was diagnosed with Afib on. 4/01/23 with electrocardiagragm at Internist.
Saw cardiologist on 4/07/25.
He confirmed it and put me on Eliquis and blood pressure med.
His main focus was to have a sleep study set up and did not want to see me again even until that was done.
Got Moderna Covid vaccine on
4/11/23. Ended up in hospital on 04/16/23 with shortness of breath.
Had cardioversion done on 04/18/23 which did nothing for Afib.
Back in hospital one month later with Afib and 2nd cardioblationnwhich did nothing m.
So, I went from just having found out to have arrhythmia to being hospitalized 2 1/2 weeks later with an arrhythmia attack.
Cardiologist that I saw on 04/07/23 seemed not concerned about my Afib.
So, did the Moderna vaccine make the arrhythmia worse?
What was your timeline?
2) I lately have terrible back of knee pain at night only in both knees, ankle pain and foot pain.
lower hip pain. Hard to stand in one spot as knees give out.
Better in AM.
I was blaming this on taking Letrozole at night.
I started Letrozole on . 3/18/24.
Have had pain on and off with it since then.
Had never known about Eliquis knee pain.
Did not have knee pain like this til Letrozole.
Perhaps combination of Eliquis and Letrozole working together is causing these severe problems now.
What do you plans to do about your Eliquis pain?
