Cann blood thinners cause pain and numbness in arms? currently on xarelto for pulmonary embolism found in june.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xarelto: Yes. Numbness is reported as most common sideffect. Pain is reported as less common side effect. I woud suggest talk to your doctor and switch to alternative blood thinners. If your symptoms are from xarelto you should get relief.
