Sorry to hear of your reaction but so glad I read this. I have been taking Eliquis for 4 months and it’s causing real fatigue but I’ve also had sudden joint pain all over for 2 months especially in the morning. Hands and feet are so painful. It improves with movement. Elbows, knees, ankles to a lesser extent. I was wondering if it was related to taking Eliquis because nothing else has changed in my life. Funny, they still have trouble getting blood out of me at the lab. No change in bleeding if I get a cut. Hope it all clears up for you.

Six months after off Elquis, I'm still working my way to "better". I still have wooden foot syndrome (as one person put it) It goes away after a bit of walking. As long as I'm moving, joints don't hurt, but sitting as long as dinner means moving a bit to get my hip muscles working and ease the pain. If there are this many people in different titles of Eliquis usage on Mayo, how many are not. My guess is that nobody simply makes up the side effects and reading how others have coped helps. Eliquis is great for removing blood clots and most likely most people do not have a problem. My guess is that it for me it would have been better on a smaller dose, Trust yourself. All of us with the same frustrating problems send you caring thoughts!
