Taking Xarelto cause stiffness in lower back pain?

to The individual who commented Xarelto not having a reversal agent. That is incorrect. It does now have a reversal agent which was approved so don’t let that be a fear of being on that drug now.

I do have lower back pain, but I had that prior to me switching to Xarelto a year ago. But I have noticed that it wraps around my sides and I even have stomach pain. I don't like that they have never tested just how thin or thick my blood is since I've been put on it. When I was on warfarin they did INRs all the time. So I have no idea if I have any eternal bleeding. Plus unlike warfarin, Xarelto has no reversing agent to stop internal bleeding if you do have it. Usually VITAMIN K will reverse the effects of warfarin if you have internal bleeding, but with Xarelto there's nothing they can do. I'm considered a "fall risk" anytime I go to the hospital or ER, so it scares me being on this drug. I hope I helped. Good luck.

I am 28 year old male. I took Xarelto for 8 weeks due to DVT/PE. Severe lower back stiffness/pain set in about 2 weeks into treatment, and finally subsided at around week 4 or 5. This was my 2nd time on blood thinners. First time was Warfarin for the same reasons. I experienced zero side effects using Warfarin, but it comes with dietary restrictions, and consistent blood drawings. I am now on my 3rd clot in 4 years, and I'm back on Xarelto. It's only been 3 days so no back pain yet, but I fear it's coming.

Yes, Xarelto or eliquis cause stiffness in lumbar spine. I will ask my doctor to switch me to warfarin. For those who are on warfarin, any lower back pain?

After taking Xarelto for 3 weeks I switched to Eliquis. The pain did not ease off. Only went away after being of blood thinner for a week. I don’t know what to do if I ever have to go back on. I am currently taking a natural supplement called Nattokinase by Dr.s Best. It came highly recommended by a homeopathic Dr. This is instead of a baby aspirin. Good luck.

Im 37 and have been on xarelto for almost 3 weeks. I do 15 mg twice a day. I have side effects that are rough. One is really bad back pain. Almost deep into the lower back. I can never get comfortable. My dr told me it’s nothing. I also get confusion easily and amongst other things like fatigued and I can’t workout anymore cause it makes me feel bad. I did end up in hospital they did a cat scan days ago and showed nothing. However pain is worst. Do these side effects go away?

I too have been taking Xarelto for over a month due to hip replacement. I didn't know why I was having the lower back pain right after the surgery, and thought that perhaps it was due to the fact that I had to sleep on my back because of the hip replacement surgery. But when I was able to sleep on my side, I still suffered the lower back pain. But now reading that others had the same problem, it makes sense. As well, I have been having hot flashes, lack of sleep, itchiness.

I also notice lower back pain since I have been on Xarelto. I am glad to read some of the answers to your question to find out that things can be done for this.

I was on Xarelto for 4 months for a DVT. Finally had to come off of it and transitioned to Coumadin. During my time on Xarelto, I experienced insomnia, joint paint, and lower back pain. The lower back pain got so bad I spent a 15 hours in an ER room standing up because I couldn't lay or sit down. I complained to my doctor about the back pain and the insomnia, and the office suggested taking pain meds and chamomile tea for sleeping. Xarelto was not the drug for me.
