Brief Answer:
buprenorphine 20 mg transdermal patch
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since you are having terrible back and neck pain after you are using the medicine eliquis I would suggest buprenorphine 20 mg transdermal patch for you.
You can apply one patch to a dry, non-irritated, non-hairy area of your skin on your upper body such as your chest, upper back, or the outside of your arms. Leave it in place for seven days and then remove it and replace it with a new patch, but apply the replacement patch to a different area of skin on your upper body. Avoid using the area from where you have removed the patch for at least three weeks. Continue to replace your patches once a week, on the same day of the week.
The medicine eliquis contains apixaban which is used to prevent blood clots from forming because of a certain irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. Preventing these blood clots helps to reduce the risk of a stroke.
It does not cause neck or back pain.
Please consult your doctor to get a prescription.
I would recommend Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cervical spine and lumbar spine to find the cause of your neck and back pain.
Hope i have answered your query.
