What Causes Profuse Sweating And Back Pain While On Xarelto?

default
Posted on Tue, 31 Oct 2017
Question: I am a 60 yr old female in pretty good health;however, I am experiencing pain in my left mid back I would put on a scale of 8 of 10. Have had a pulmonary embolism (2004) and about 11 inches of blood clot in my right brachial artery after breaking my collar bone about 5 years ago. I take xalerto (20 mg) daily. I am experiencing serious back pain, not as bad as the embolism and I am not sweating profusely as as I did the first with the embolism, but the pain is close. I am not looking for drugs. I am allergic to opiates. It's a challenge to medicate me for pain!! Wondering if I should just wait it out? I took two alleve about two hours ago and a 1mg XXXXXXX I am not feeling the slightest bit of relief. I also drank 6 hard Henry's orange soda tonight, i should be asleep!!! Not even close, pain too severe, please advise. Should I go to the ER?
