Deep Vein Thrombosis
"After travel by car, I felt the DVT symptoms, having had a previous occurrence 4 years ago. Pradaxa was offered as a choice, so that I would not have to return for the frequent pro-time tests. It has worked fine for a while, had reflux before and after starting to take.  Upside, the leg with the clot feels better and is not as swollen, and I am not having the irregular heart beat with dizziness.  Fewer headaches.  Downside:  my bones ache.  My hips and my thumb hurt.  Even my teeth and jaw are starting to ache.  Since there are no other meds except long term thyroid replacements, I feel this is the cause. Feel swollen around my abdomen.   And Acetaminophen doesn&#039;t work well for low back and other pains."
