Is Taking Xarelto Safe For Sore And Discolored Lump On Thumb?

I have a sore, discolored lump on my thumb. It began as a very dark bruise circle and over the course of the day covered the entire inside of my thumb and is tender to the touch. I should add that I take 20 mg. of Xarelto daily. Thanks for your help. Grace Lewis --

Hello Grace welcome to HealthcareMagic
Regarding whether xarelto is safe for a painful dark circled discolored lump on your thumb I will suggest yes if the lump is a blood clot

Xarelto is an anticoagulant use to prevent blood from clotting so in addition to to xarelto please add tablet nurofen to enhance speedy recovery

I hope this helps Regards
