Posted by twessel @twessel, 1 day ago

I have been taking Eliquis for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation Recently, I have experienced muscle weakness in my arms and knees. Has anyone experienced this type of issue

I don't think your issue is with apixaban. I have never seen anyone comment about the drug causing muscles weakness, and it doesn't appear in the literature (that I have seen). Statins, though, do cause all sorts of side-effects in people, but with muscle it's usually soreness, not weakness.
