Arm pain in rivaroxiban

[Naniajes]

Does anyone get arm pain on rivaroxiban

[Hidden]

Occasionally - but if you are worried, go to A&E.

I’m getting it every day now been to a+e bloods and ecg came back fine

[Hidden in reply to Naniajes]

Maybe it's just muscular? Or cramping...

Try some Red Tiger Balm on the area (since you can’t have ibuprofen gels) and see if that makes a difference. It helps me. 🙂

[Naniajes in reply to Ukbusybee]

Thank you I’ll try that

Hi I’ve just started to get the same thing over the past few weeks. Been on tablets for 2 years now, also been suffering from high blood pressure, might be all connected .

[Naniajes in reply to Motty]

I have had more problems on the rivaroxiban than with the clots but they won’t take me off them

[Motty]

I’ve had no problems at all apart from my arm hurting over the past few weeks. See if you can get them changed or see another doctor .

[Daneball]

no, but arm pain can be so many not dangerous things. If your cervical spine needs an adjustment you can get an achy arm, numb fingers etc. I have arthritis in my shoulder and I get bicep tendon pain down my arm. Subscap tightness can also cause pain and tightness/aching down the back of the arm. I'd try physio if your doc has ruled out blood clot in your shoulder.

I went to drs today he’s referring me for physio see if that helps

I have had arm pain periodically on warfarin as well as getting pain on left sie of my skull. ( so natural to worry that these things are possible clots or related to our blood thinners)

Yes but more importantly I have had heavy bleeding which now needs surgery. Two doctors have told me that this drug will find any weak spot and may increase the risk of bleeding. I have been taken off it and put on Apixaban. May be coincidence but bleeding stopped.

[Naniajes in reply to Hidden]

I have had problems with heavy bleeding had 2 blood transfusion just recently had another bad bleed just been told I'm severely anemic again I asked to change to apixaban but they told me I would just bleed on that

[Hidden in reply to Naniajes]

Oddly enough I had a little bleed last night but stopped now and I can expect that until after surgery. Nothing like when I was on Riveroxiban. Overall I think I was best on Warfarin. Hope you get sorted soon Naniajes. Ask for a second opinion.
