My mom is experiencing severe knee pain since taking Eliquis. She and doctor have taken her off the medication. How long will it take before she begins to feel relief since discontinuing the drug?

Hello, Kath1234! How is your mom feeling?

How long was she taking it?

Depending on the length of time and dosage, it may take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks, before it eases off and she starts to feel better.

The FDA lists the other typical side effects of Xarelto as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

Thank you for the information! She is still hurting. I will let her know about how long it can take. It is scary for her. A chance of a Blood Clot or not being able to walk.

My mom is doing 100% better since going off Eliquis. It obviously was the medication. Luckily she was only on it for a short time but it took almost 3 weeks for her to feel better. How many other people are experiencing this and not realizing it's the medication. Hopefully they will before they have knee replacements!

There have been many complaints about this medication.

I am very glad she's doing better! Please give her a hug for me!
