Just diagnosed with Afib rapid heart beat only every 3 to 4 mos. for 4 to 5 hrs. Dr said I could keep taking 1 aspirin & Ibuprofen that helps my arthritis and joint swelling. Dr changed me to Xarelto now no Aspirin and Ibuprofen. Joints now swell up. What can help and do I have to take Xarelto, don't want to take it.
I take Xarelto now I need to take an anti inflammatory for knee arthritis swelling, what can I take?

I would suggest getting an app from Drugs.com you can put in all your meds in and it will provide you with an interaction for all the meds you are on or tell you if there is no interaction- even checks for food interactions

You may want to visit your rheumatologist to discuss medications instead of NSAIDS to control your Rheumatoid Arthritis
