Hello,
Xarelto may cause muscle pain in a few patients but it isn't common.
The
most common side effect is bleeding tendency. You may use tablet Tramadol twice a day for five days.
If symptoms don't improve, please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you with alternate medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
