Leg Pains / Weight Gain
UpdatedI had a hysterectomy a couple weeks ago and a week later had a blood clot in my right calf. I was prescribed Xarelto 2x 20mg a day. Two days later I had excessive abdominal bleeding. Was told to take only 1 pill for the next 24 hours, the bleeding didn't stop and I was told to stop taking altogether. After 24 hours no bleeding so I was told to start back up (this was just a couple hours ago).
As of yesterday I have an intermittent shooting pain in my left upper leg, when it hits me the pain is so strong I almost fall to the ground...then it goes away. I have also gained 4 pounds since I started taking it. I hardly eat as I'm still on paid meds from my surgery so it sounds like this may be a side effect as well. Anything on this horrible leg pain I am suddenly having? It hasn't stopped since yesterday evening.

Hello, Kelly! How are you? I am very sorry about what you've been through.
Please speak to your doctor immediately. That leg pain may be due to another clot, which can occur when stopping this medication abruptly. There is a chance it isn't, but it is best not to risk it, so this needs to be checked out.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
