Leg And Foot Pain

Updated

In October I had a PE and have been on Xarelto since. Currently I take 20mg per day and every other day constant pain in my legs and feet. Does any one have any suggestions?

parish are you on any kind of diuretic/water pill? could be electrolyte imbalance it causes muscle aches, cramps and restless legs. eat some bananas, drink some Gatorade, v8 is great, and try a magnesium supplement. you can also take an Epsom salt bath, soak for about 10 to 15 min. the minerals and electrolytes begin absorbing immediately and the warm bath feels good. worth a try. hope this helps

@Parrish,

I don't mean to provoke any further concerns, but according to NIH.gov, experiencing pain in the legs is regarded as a potentially serious side effect that you should contact your doctor about immediately.

You can view the following page for reference: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a611049.html#side-effects

Post #1 made some good suggestions as well, so hopefully taking those preventative measures in the meantime will help keep the pain from getting any worse than it already has been.

My opinion though (depending on whether Xarelto is truly the culprit) is that its side effects may or may not go away if you keep taking what's causing them to begin with.

Hope this helps!
