Unfortunately, I haven’t heard of any where here (US) we could report side effects of medication’s.
But it seems like there’s enough people on this site that have had similar problems with Eliquis in the knees.. I think it’s more than just a coincidence, but for whatever reason the doctors don’t seem to understand or believe.
My problems started after one month of the Eliquis and have gotten worse since, I’m waiting to be able to stop it next month and see if there’s any difference in the way my legs feel..

Sometimes I wonder if the introduction to these meds are too strong, and repetitive.
10 mg twice a day is not doable for every patient, and it seems all of us are experiencing dizziness, nausea, and excruciating pain. Perhaps a patient review board, which would allow
medication issues to flow through CDC, prompting a more intense study of these drugs may help. Medical care is slowly becoming sick care - highly profitable.

@ruth36 I have been off six weeks and side effects are different every day, but are far from being gone
. Today the nausea is terrible, along with dizziness that passed after sitting up for about five minutes. Knees are better today than some days when I can hardly get up, let alone trying to get up from the floor.. My guess is it affects each person differently. I am considered hyper flexible and am older. My doctor felt the effects would go away in three days. I hope, for you, yours do and will be interested to hear.
