Have used coumadin(warfarin), pradaxa, and now xarelto since heart surgery 5 plus years ago. Also have a pacemaker for the last 3 years. Xarelto is easy to use and I don't have dietary restrictions as with coumadin. Have been on Xarelto almost 3 years with no ancillary issues. My cardiologist switched me from pradaxa to xarelto almost 3 years ago.

I checked 5 stars satisfaction because I have been on this drug over 3 years and no blood clot or stroke. BUT in these 3 years I have horific back pain on standing which I just thought was due to old auto injuries. Also my teeth are getting cavities and breaking off and now need pulling. My doctor wont let me stop the xarelto because I keep having episodes of a-fib. I am taking other meds to control the a-fib and recently was defibrilated in hospital. I am curious to know if anyone else is having dental problems. My gums bleed when I brush my teeth, but not unless I injure them with food otherwise. I also have blood in my urine I believe as I now have minor incontinence and wear a micro pad at all times. The spotting on the pad is always brown. I am 71 and female. If any other persons out there on this drug are having dental problems please report in this section. I think my problems are from the drug because I had not had a cavity since I was 15 and a dentist scaled my teeth. No cavities prior to that instance either. I have cavities even in my front teeth and they are breaking apart. I don't want to smile anymore. Prior to the Xarelto I did have a couple teeth pulled that had old fillings in them and eating nuts and hard candy cracked them.My doctor wants to have a specialist perform an ablation on me. Internally in my heart shock it into rhythm. I am so scared to do that. If there was a tiny clot hiding that could not be seen, the shock would send it on its way. I was a critical care medical assistant for 41 years. I know what could or would happen and I do not want to live another 15 to 20 years as a part or whole vegetable.That is crude but it is how I feel.

After two weeks on Xarelto 20 mg I started to get very painful headaches everyday and extreme shoulder and arm pain. Don't know if it's the Xarelto or not. I will wait one more week before I see the doctor and get blood work. Worried !
