Left Side Joint Pains Whilst Taking Rivaroxoban

I started taking 20 mgs of rivaroxoban following a second episode of multiple pulmonary embolism ( Sepember 2015)I now expect this to be lifetime medication . However 3 months after starting on the dose I am suffering with severe left side shoulder and groin\hip pains and Imobility.
Three months later Doctors have still not provided any answers just continue with a process of x rays scans and elimination. They are adamant there is no connection to my medication, normally a very fit and active 55 yr old and take no other medication. I continue to be in significant pain has any one suffered similar experiences.

Hello, Kevin! How are you?

Yes, as reported by the U.S. FDA it can cause those types of side effects, in some people that take it.

You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

Have you tried asking them if there's an alternative medication you can try?
