I posted my first question about muscle weakness from Eliquis about 6 months ago. I was diagnosed with paramoxal atrail fibralation in September of 2021 and have been taking Eliquis since then.About a year and a half ago I started noticing lack of muscle strength. Now, I am 83 and assumed it was old age but in the last year, my muscles have become painful. When I checked the Eliquis data sheet one of the side effects was muscle weakness When I use my muscles even slightly I have pain. Even to the point the pain causes me to not sleep well. When I do no work, the pain is less. As with the post above, tylenol does nothing and nsaids are not to be used with Eliquis. In the past 2 months, my legs feel like they are getting weak and my feet are always cold. I am starting to see my heart doctor and my primary doctor to analyze my situation.
