What Is This Pain?

Updated

I have been taking 20mg of Xarelto for around 1 and a half years after a case of DVT/PE. This is given via a prescription from my GP. I was one of the guinea pigs for this drug and is not sure that my GP is taking me seriously regarding the extreme pain that I experience on a daily basis. The pain and swelling is so bad that I can hardly walk some days. I am convinced that this is due to the Xarelto. My GP is of the opinion that my weight is the culprit and after evaluations at the hospital is saying that I have arthritis. I want to stop this drug but am fearful that they will not. Looking back, all my symptoms started shortly after starting this new wonder drug. Some days I feel so bad that I feel as though I'm dying slowly on this medication. Also I am concerned as no one is monitoring me since taking this drug. Please can anyone help....

Hello, Rosemary! How are you?

The U.S. FDA does note that it can cause these types of issues as side effects, in some people that take it. Others may possibly including nausea, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

I'm wondering if it might be time for you to get a second opinion. Is that possible for you? I know sometimes it may vary depending on where you live, insurance coverage, and etc.

Hi Verwon thank you for your reply. I actually reside in the United Kingdom England . I now have been able to obtain a review of the said medication via the Consultant Heamatologist. So hopefully I will now be listened to.

Omg!! Thank god I'm not the only one going through hell on this drug!!!! I had a blood clot in leg was put on xarelto. Never had pain before using this drug. Needles in legs and arms. Severe severe pain in arms like acid going through my veins. Went to ER numerous times. Expressed to my MD please please take me off of this! She said I may have arthritis. No one believes me! I am 3 months in and have 3 more to go. I am on pain killers just to deal with the pain. Its a lose-lose situation. Have to remain on it for a blood clot issue. Have severe pain due to it. It saved my life but is killing my body at the same time.
