Pain in leg muscles, tendons, and knees after Bilateral PE on Eliquis
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: 17 hours ago | Replies (84)Comment receiving replies
I am having the worst leg pains since taking Eliquis for almost a year . Last year I walked my dog 3-5 miles a day and now I can hardly walk to the car and back ! I’m trying to tell the Dr I don’t have AFIB if my heart monitor comes back 97% normal sinus rhythm and 3% AFIB (two tests) . He says I need blood thinner cuz I had a TIA a year ago . Low dose aspirin? He says age,gender,genetics, and diabetes are factors . I want off this RX I can’t afford . Money or health wise !

Before this discussion, I never knew that Eliquis could cause leg pains. Thanks to everyone here. I started it after a PE that put me in the hospital for a week. (I also have afib and my vein doctor and cardiologist agreed on Eliquis). Occasionally I get new leg pains which I attributed to getting older or maybe not enough exercise. Thankfully those leg cramps occur infrequently enough that for the moment I will stay with the Eliquis.

@ccolson I've been on Eliquis for a little over a year now. It is a horrible drug. I don't have pain in my legs, but they have become so weak I am constantly afraid of falling. Curbs are too much. There has to be a better way. As far as the ridiculous co$t, I ended up going through the Canadian Pharmacy Store. Google them and learn about them, then have your doc send them a prescription. Then you place your order. It was very easy. My last order was about $70 for a three-month supply, whereas in the states, my insurance said it would be about $800/month. Good luck and let us know how you are.
