What is the risk of xarelto?
As far as know Giotikas also prescribes xarelto for the whole 3month lengthening period when he uses non weight bearing methods like Precise2 nail. It is the weight bearing limitation that is most important in relation to the length of treatment.

Bleeding.

At the very least your liver will suffer from it, i.e. increased ALT and AST enzymes. This is what I had. This is a documented side effect and you can Google for it.
In the worst case xarelto causes bleeding to internal organs, liver failure or a stroke after discontinuation.
Xarelto is not to be underestimated and people have died from taking it. Nor does it prevent blood clots under all circumstances, merely reduces the chances of them happening.
They say the risk of blood clots after a surgery is elevated until three months after surgery. My thinking is the doctor should keep giving at for that amount of time but also monitor blood values and liver function.

Thank you for the answer!

This is not true. He does not.
I am concerned about blood clotting. Particularly seeing the post that something terrible has occurred to someone I know -having surgery when I had surgery.

Was it because of blood clot or fat embolism? fat embolism happens without 24-48 hours from the surgery. Did he not take xeralto? I'll force doctor to give me xeralto for full lengthening.

Man force giotikas to give you xeralto. If he disagrees then get it from someone else maybe ask your home country doc to give it to you. In the meantime, take ginger powder or turmeric powder (natural blood thinners).

Inspite of the recent incident if Dr Giotikas doesn't want to give xeralto then don't you think it's in the best interest of his patients?
