watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know. xarelto. jummy: you could soon see more drones flying above your head. the faa rule for commercial use of drones went into effect today. they may not fly higher than 400 feet or at night. the faa regulations say operators no longer need a
