Blood Thinners And Back Surgery

Previous back surgeries were not an issue until I started with blood thinners. Now I am feeling weakness where I had my surgeries. Will this weakness go away as my body gets use to blood thinners?

Which blood thinner are you using?

Some of them can cause muscle pain, and weakness as side effects, according to FDA reports, along with nausea, headache, easy bruising, and increased risk of bleeding, but it can vary depending on which one you are asking about.

Ref: Medline Plus Anticoagulants

Most side effects do tend to go away, once your body gets used to a medication, but that can take about 4 to 6 weeks.
