It Take For A Calf Muscle To Heal

Took xarelto for 3 months after broken ankle and subsequent blood clot in calf. Developed severe, strange muscle pain in left shoulder blade, arm, elbow, neck, etc. Even went to ER because pain and tightness in left chest. Im 43 and pretty healthy otherwise. Been off it for 5 weeks with very little relief. Anyone else? How long does it stay in your sysem? ## Hello, ER! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. If it was a side effect of the Xarleto, it shouldn't still be an issue after you've been off of it for over a month. This has happened to people taking it, that is listed in the FDA medication information, but it usually stops, after someone is off of it for a few weeks. Are you on any other medications? Have you consulted your doctor?...
