Rivaroxaban been on for 6months

I had joined this forum to better understand my partner's use of warfarin after he had a fall that caused bleeding in his brain. He subsequently had what is presumed to have been another fall that caused his brain to bleed again, this time developing a subdural hematoma that went undetected for an estimated three weeks. Not knowing about any fall I had called emergency several days ago when his symptoms became alarming, thinking that he was perhaps suffering a stroke. We are now in the hospital tending to the brain injury, and since he can't safely be on warfarin any longer they are at this moment putting an IVC Filter in place. I write to this forum for the last time offering that maybe you can ask your doctors of the applicability of such a filter as an alternate in your case.

Hi I was on Warfrin for 13 weeks after a hip replacement I had aches and pains in my shoulders and knees but since I have stopped them I am starting to feel a lot better I was the same when I attended the doctor he told me no you should not have pain but I think he was so wrong the pain is not as bad since I stopped the Warfrin hope this helps and you feel a lot better soon

I'm assuming Rivaroxaban 1 year and a half. Before I hired for 6 months acenocoumarol. After about 1 week after taking Rivaroxaban (I assumed it  at 8 pm) started a high exhaustion, around lunch time I had already sleeping, big muscle weakness. Precise that are great sports woman. These symptoms have lasted three months. I resisted and started to improve: no longer sleepy, recovered strength largely. I do not have the vitality of before taking rivaroxaban. I'm sure that the symptoms are derived from this drug, because heparin and acenocoumarol absolutely did not create these problems.

I have been on Riva since January and the back pain is immense together with breathlessness, I am back at the GP on Friday to discuss going back to warfarin which I was on for 16 years before I switched!

Hi 

I had the opposite effect. I had a PE 4 years ago was put on Warfarin which was ok but I did suffer very mild pain in my leg arms and hand - almost like a numbing sensation. I changed to Riveroxaban last year and have not had any of these symptons . I think it really is down to the individuals body chemistry differnet drugs suit differengt people. As for the Doctors . Its odd that the symtons you have are listed as possible side effects but the Doctors dismiss this . I would insist of being refereed to a specialist . Ensure your Doctor puts this request in your notes. 

All the best
