Xarelto leg cramps

Posted , 2 users are following.

For those of you on Xarelto have you noticed cramping in your legs unrelated to DVT? I have cramping that comes and goes in both legs. My DVT was only in my left leg but my right leg is cramping as well. I had an ultrasound done of the right leg and it was clear. No one seems to be able to tell me why my legs are so crampy though!? Any experiences?

    Hi, I am on Rivaroxaban and have been for 6 mths now, yes I do get cramping in both legs, feeling heavy at times ect, while looking up the side effects of the med's it say's can weaking legs, have now got a set of pedals using every day in the hope of strengthening legs.

      Thanks. I always find myself worrying about new clots due to all this leg pain. My doctor says it's unlikely to clot while on the drugs but I can't help but worry. This is such an anxiety provoking illness!!
