Have been taking it fir several years with no problems. Haven’t heard this happens but always difficult to work out causes when things occur together
Had back pain along spine predominately soon after starting Apixaban and Bisoprolol but only lasted about 3 days. Not sure if back pain is a symptom of Apixaban though
HiI have been taking apixaban for over 18months
No back pain but do get bad joint pains
Not all the time but it comes and goes say possibly every 2 to 3 months
Possibly not even linked to the drugs but coincidence it started at a similar time
Don’t forget I have Afib like most of us on hear so is it the course
I’m sure others will be along to put there thoughts across
Good luck
It is unlikely to be linked, but more likely to be part of the aging process. I have both before and since starting Apix - no change......
Yes. I am pretty sure it is linked as before my hip op I was taken off Apixaban for 8 days and given bridging Lovenox jabs. Pain diminished considerably. I have also expeimented with reducing the dose - same result.
