What Causes Soreness And Sharp Pain Under The Left Breast While On Eliquis?

I take eliquis 2 mg rwice a day to prevent future blood clots which I do not have at this time. I was toldI i had DVT when i was put on eliquis and my right leg is still much larger than my left leg and appears swollen. I take oxybutiynin ( one 5 mg ) at bedtime as needed for uncontrolled urine and bowel. I take metamuci l for fiber in bowels. Recently I feel soreness in my bone ( left side) extending from back to front under breast with occasional sharp pain. Please note I have fallen several times: from chairs, from bed, from top of stairway to botttom of stairway, ,but I do not believe I had broken bones. i have had bruised skin and occasionally a sharp pain in the bone on the left side under my breast. Could earlier falls and the current use of eliquis be the cause of sorenes and occasional sharp pain in the bone under my breast?
