I have been on flecainide 50 mg twice a day since my ablation in August and I also take Simvastatin, Bisopropol , levothyroxine and apixaban. For a few weeks now I have been having aching and painful joints- especially my fingers and hips, and numbness and tingling in my arm and leg- had blood tests and ruled out rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid so I’m wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms as a side effect of any of the above medications?
Thanks
Hi Elonia,
I have often asked this question about joint pain. You are on quite a cocktail of pills. I am not sure of the difference between Axiban and Rivaraxaban , I am on the latter and have joint pain since being on it.I hope you get some answers.
Thanks Luludean- I hadn’t thought it might be the Apixaban but will look into it. I hate being on so many drugs and sometimes I think they dish them out without thinking about interactions. I’m hoping to come off some of them when I have my post ablation check up.
Hope so for your peace of mind.
