Hi,

Sorry to hear about your pain. The said side effects are not commonly associated with Eliquis, and are nor reported as side effects of the drug. But a very important point is not to stop the drug. You must not stop the drug without your doctor advice as there are chances of a blood clot which may be serious. So if you don't feel well with the drug, let your doctor know, he may advise you another blood thinner.

I would also recommend being evaluated for the pain and high sugar as these may not be caused by the drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
