Xarelto is giving me the blues

Especially after it peaks. I take mine with breakfast as I may skip dinner at times.

After it peaks hours later , I have the WORST chest , shoulder , and arm pain. I can't sleep unless I take pain killers. My arms feel like they are on fire , and my chest and back start hurting. The only time I feel normal is right before the next dose early in the morning. I feel great but will be on this for the next few months. I'm been using a heated blanket everyday to ease the aches and pains but it is frustrating. I've spent 30 plus years dealing with pain although not daily.

My doctor wants me to stay on the xarelto cause of the DVTs in both arms. I'm trying not to take my pain killers so much because they'll flare my liver but this is booty cheeks. Xarelto has caused me nothing but constant muscle aches , pains , and sleep disruption. I wish there was a better way to handle all types of clotting. Months and life long use of this stuff is for the birds.
