Thank you for responding to me Colleen. I told the cardiologist when I saw him a couple of weeks ago that my right hip was bothering me but that it was a pre-existing condition. I asked for Advil and he said only twice a week (one dose)...if I really needed it. At that point it was just the same areas that I have already had problems with. Probably, to the cardiologist, it didn't sound like anything to worry about. I was just asking for permission for Advil. 🙂 Since then I have had referred pain in other areas per my physical therapist plus occasional muscle aches.

I realize that I cannot come off of a blood thinner because of stroke and wonder if the other new blood thinners will do the same thing or if that is not the problem at all. I don't want to play with the drugs and coming off one and going on another...that can create problems of their own.

I would like to know if these aches and pains are causing serious problems or I just have to learn to live with it. I ordered a large cold pad per my therapist, am taking physical therapy and massage. I still exercise the best that I can with the pain and continue to live life normally but it is not the same quality of life. My joints are not red or swollen.

I would feel so much better if someone can respond to me and relate their Eliquis experience and if they have something similar.

Thank You,

I have been on Eloquis for one year. I have developed some side affects that I attributed to Eloquis since I got the side affects after I started Eloquis. They are itching around the face and head, hair loss and bladder problems. In the last 8 weeks I have developed a condition that has affected muscle , tendon, bone or nerves. I am now using a walker. I have had a MRI and will have another one on the pelvic. The first MRI did not reveal what could cause my right leg to suddenly stop supporting me. Neurosurgeon is making an appointment with the neurologist. I researched the Eloquis and chose to stop it 3 weeks ago. I do take Propanolol and I have a loop recorder. I am an active exerciser with no explanation of all of a sudden losing the use of my right leg. Since I stopped Eloquis, my itching is not as bad, my bladder problems have improved and my eye swelling is not as bad. I called my cardiologist and informed of my decision but have not heard from him. I am just praying for an answer. Has anyone had my problems? Thank you so much.
