    Following on from the above, I was diagnosed with multiple PE's in May. It's under control with apixaban, I do suffer lung pain still, which is normal. I've noticed since I have taken to daily walks I supper with back pain between my shoulders, I wondered if this was an effect of the PE's. Has anyone else got this?

    What kind of back/shoulder pain? Do you mean radiating pain from the lungs or nerve,bone or muscle pain? My shoulder has really been playing me up but it feels like nerve pain and I was wondering if it was a side effect of being on blood thinners. I feel like things hurt a lot more since I have had the PEs. I am much more sensitive.
