Pain In Ankles

Updated

I just started taking eliquis after getting PE after surgery. I was feeling OK at the beginning but a week later I'm noticing my asked hurt a lot now could this be a side effect??

I'm sorry that's my ankle. Not my ask.

Hi angellepaine,

Sorry to hear about your ankle hurting. It sounds to me like you may have to get it checked out by your doctor in order to know for certain what the underlying issue is. However, I did read on NIH.gov that "muscle hemorrhage" was a possible adverse effect of Eliquis, listed under the category of "musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders" at: nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=e9481622. Not saying that this is necessarily what happened to any degree, but perhaps it's worth looking into just to be on the safe side. Interestingly enough, I haven't found any specific details pertaining to "ankle pain" or leg pain being a potential side effect of this med, but sometimes these types of side effects can go unreported and we (unfortunately) have to be in a position to do our own due diligence to report them as they occur. For that, here a link to the FDA's MedWatch Program (for voluntary reporting of adverse effects): fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/index.cfm?action=reporting.

I hope this helps in any way!
