muscle weakness from blood thinners like Eliquis

@ruth36 I could have written the exact same words down weak keg to opening a bag of chips!
I had blood clots and everything I’ve read said I might not get back the same strength and physical ability. I’ve read others peoples events and more than half were young people having about the same problem. One was an Olympic athlete who was not able to continue competing. Seems like we all have the effects of the “event” and as I was told it could take 2 years to improve but if I let it take over, I’m going to lose that motivation to keep physically active. I also have grilled my doctors regularly about this weakness. My oncologist mentioned that side effects listed on drugs are those experienced while in trials. Unless people have severe reactions reported to the drug company those original side effects remain the same. Anyway …

@debkuz thanks for your response, I keep telling myself when I get discouraged that there are people out there that are worse off than me… I had my primary appointment the other day and told her about my legs hurting so much and she ordered x-rays on my knees and bloodwork to see if there’s Any Inflammation.
I’m hoping it is a side effect from the medication and that once I can get off Eliquis in December, I can see a difference in my legs🙏🏻🙏🏻
But in the meantime, I know I have to keep doing what I’ve been doing as the same goes “ use it or lose it”
If it ends up to be arthritis, I don’t know What I’ll do.. I’ve tried taking Tylenol, but it doesn’t seem to help the pain. I’m afraid that I’m gonna end up not being able to walk at all.
