Eliquis Swelling In Feet And Legs

I have been on Eliquis for about a month. I have some itching, weight gain, and swelling in my legs and feet that has become very painful. Also frequent urination. They are taking me off the meds. Has anyone else had the swelling?

REPORT

I have had very painful burning and aching with some numbness on the soles of my feet for 3 months.After being blood-tested for every disease in the world,it dawned on me it might be the Eliquis. The doctors (3) assured me that the drug was an unlikely culprit.I went off the Eliquis on my own,and within a week all my "peripheral neuropathy" was gone.

Hello, Glenda! How are you?

Yes, it is a known possible side effect of this medication, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

David, have you replaced it with a different medication? Others have reported pain similar to what you've experienced, as well.

My vet was on Eliquis for almost 3 mos and she had an attck! Her blood was thicker than prior to going on Eliquis! With that drug they don't do weekly or monthly blood work..Beware! apparently she is one of a few that can't take Eliquis! How are you suppose to know??

Re: Maura (# 5)

That’s scary! I guess if you give yourself a very small cut (either by accident but you could self inflict it) and it bleeds more easily or longer that usual, you’d know the eliquis is working as it is supposed to rather than it having the opposite effect that your vet unfortunately experienced.

After taking first dosage of Eliquis both of my ankles and feet swelled up and were so painful I could not stand on them. Spent 4 days in hospital where they gave me predisone for a week that caused some of the swelling to go down. Ankles and feet are still swollen up slightly and still somewhat painful when walking/standing. I have been taking Eliquis for 25 days now.
