Xarelto Back Pain (Top voted first)

Updated

Within 3 days of taking 20mg of xarelto I could not move. Back pain, spasms and muscle stiffness was horrible. Informed cardiologist who disregarded my complaints. Have been off xarelto 8 months and still suffering from back pain and stiffness. It is unknown if this is permanent. I hope to God that is not the case. Xarelto has ruined my life.

It would be very odd for medication side effects to last that long after stopping the medication, though the FDA does list them as possibly including headaches, joint pain, and muscle pain.

Are you on any other medications?

Is it possible that there may be some other cause for these issues?

Hello,
My husband is experiencing the same thing. He has since switched blood thinners. The pain is still so bad. Doctors say it’s potassium and magnesium deficiency. He has been taking supplements for awhile now. I’m wondering has your pain gotten better? His seems to just be getting worse.
