Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Knees

Posted on Mon, 9 Jan 2017

Question: I have been taking eliqusis since last January. Been having more intense pain in my knees. Had a minor surgery in November that I had to stop the meds
before hand. Went back on them after surgery and it seems as if knee and leg pain is worse especially upon standing and walking. Could this be due to taking the eliquis ?

Not likely to be due to Eliqusis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The intense pain in the knees that you are having now seems to be due to osteoarthritic changes. It is not likely to be related to Eliqusis.
You need proper calcium and multivitamin supplements too to take care of this problem.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
