Rare serious side effect of Eliquis: Muscle weakness

@sally55 I met my new cardiologist and he also said he never heard of that being a side effect. Referred to an EP after starting a new 14 day holter monitor. He says he doubts I have not have additional afib espisodes, is betting I just don't feel them. Then the EP takes over and makes the decision if I can drop the eliquis. My hand is now developing trigger finger and my hip is terrible, sent to an orthopod for that..and he also said never heard of eliquis having that side effect but the onset was a bit to coincidental for me. Will see how the holter goes.

@rushhome WHen doctors tell me
they have never heard of the side effect of muscle weakness, I say to them, " I am a member of a support group through the Mayo Clinic and there are many of us who report these side effects." The doctors get quiet then, and stop telling me it's not a side effect. Grateful for all of you!
@rushhome
Got mine on as well. I'm right there with ya!

@rushhome I can't believe the doctors are saying they never heard of muscle/joint pain being a side effect of Eliquis. From what I am reading and hearing from others, it is a common side effect of Eliquis. Good luck with your monitor. Hope all goes well.
