                            also lower back pain
                                    Brief Answer:
may occur indirectly in some persons
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Xarelto can rarely (1 to 4% of persons who use it) cause muscle pain or spasm or lower back pain. If any of these occur, then they may then cause weakness secondary to the muscle or back issues
In addition, both xarelto and eliquis can cause bleeding to occur, the bleeding may be minor or major but blood loss can also be associated with weakness well
Weakness occurring as a direct effect of xarelto or eliquis is not known but persons react differently to medication. If the symptom was not present at all prior to using the medication or there is no obvious cause then it is possible that it may be related
Other possible cause of weakness include: (1)sleep disorder
(2)dehydration or other electrolyte disorder
(3)side effect of other medication
(4)chronic illness
(5)arthritis or other problems to the vertebra in the lower back
(6)neurological conditions such as MS
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
