"Have been on Pradaxa for approximately 3 months.  One initial episode of heartburn only.  Now it seems I experiencing joint pain quite frequently.  Has anyone noticed an increase in joint pain? Muscle pain?  I spoke with the pharmacist and he said he had never heard of anyone getting muscle pain, but joint was pretty infrequent.  I'm thinking of getting off this medication with doctor's approval."
