Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Xarelto
Question: I have have a similar problem to an earlier patient. Taking xarelto for slightly over a year. I have had very uncomfortable muscle and joint pains over the year but more recently developed severe lower back pain, excruciating stomach cramps and foul gas. What can I do to lessen the pain? Am I at risk of internal bleeding or any damage to my organs? What are the alternatives to xarelto, my quality of life has severely deteriorated with this drug.
Brief Answer:
It can be due to side effects.
