Rivaroxaban

[Corrie12]

I'm on Rivaroxaban I've noticed on my knee and just above my knee I've loads of small blood stops and an area of bruising is this down to the Rivaroxaban just asking options as I'm seeing my GP on the 11th due to Severe hip pain and I'll ask about it then.

Please don't wait till the eleventh. Phone 111 now. Those tiny blood spots are sometimes a sign of something more serious.

Do you mean by blood spots red pimple like swellings? Loads of those have suddenly erupted over my torso.

[Corrie12 in reply to Barb1]

They are not like pimples they are round flat with the skin but what looks like are blood as are bright red colour of blood

[rc-k in reply to Barb1]

No I meant the flat ones that Corrie describes. I am not a doctor,, just speaking from my own experience.

[Corrie12 in reply to Barb1]

No that sound like harmless cherry angioma

Thank you

My legs are all blue swellings with riveroxaban and around and above my right ankle is a wide heavy blue swollen band.

[Corrie12 in reply to Countrydweller2]

Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

[Countrydweller2 in reply to Corrie12]

They just say carry on with it, it's better than a stroke.

[Corrie12]

So you spoken to them about it? I'll still ask as medication can be changed I already had blood clot in that leg.

I found changing to Apixaban helped with joint pain.

Hip pain if from a fall when I went into bradycardia

It is well known that anti coagulants cause these petechiae. Diseases such as meningitis are also responsible, but I would think you would have more symptoms!!!! I have been getting them and other purpura for years, granted, I am much older than you and senile purpura is also common. Your doctor will tell you the cause. My Cardiologist warned me because of my age and thin skin.
