So I've been taking birth control for roughly a month and a half and I'm worried more or less the possiblity of a blood clot in my leg. A couple of weeks ago I get a pair of exotic shoes that have a bump contained by the middle of the left foot that hurts when I've worn them for more than around an hour. A couple days after I had worn them like mad, I started getting some pain contained by my leg, so I decided to stop wearing them everyday (they hurt when I wore them, but I like the way they looked). I've other gotten random charlie horses surrounded by my leg and I've gotten a couple more than usual. I pretty sure it has to do next to the shoes, but I need some reassurance. Also, it help to stretch it out, but I don't know if that also means a clot. I've looked up symptoms and the one and only thing I enjoy is a slight pain. (It could be because I've stretched it too much, too.)

Answers:    The prospect of developing a clot while taking birth control is mostly related to age and smoking habits. Women who are elder than 35 and smoke really shouldn't be using oral contraceptives.

One type of clot, deep artery thrombosis, is the type of clot that tends to crop up in the legs. People who develop this type of clot will typically enjoy pretty severe pain from inside the leg, redness, and swelling.

If you are have mild pain that is to say occurring intermittently, it doesn't sound tremendously likely that you own a clot, especially if you are young. This isn't a thoroughly common side effect surrounded by younger women.

If you want more information, you should ask your pharmacist the next time you own your prescription filled.

Good luck and try not to verbs too much about this kindly of stuff.

i dont think thats long adequate to develop a clot if you are concerned ask your dr but usually most ppl are fine with bc pills they hold alot less hormones than they used to and it sounds simply like strain on muscle not clot the lone way to know for sure is to catch a scan of muscle/ leg though

I'm gonna say your shoes... Blood clots form when you are static and the blood pools contained by the veins... this routine that unless you're sitting all daytime (and no school doesn't count) and not exercising at adjectives... or you have a clotting disorder (diagnosed by the doctor) you really aren't at a elevated risk at all. If you are a smoker... birth control can be dodgy if you lead a static lifestyle.

Signs of a blood clot do include strain but it's localized... meaning its surrounded by one spot... and usually you'll have redness/bruising surrounded by that spot... they don't start in your foot... you can also try something call the homans sign... you point your toes up and then bring them towards your facade... if you have point discomfort deep contained by the calf... this could be a sign too... but it's not really 100%.

If you have most important concerns call your doc that wrote the perscritpion for the birth controll and ask... honestly they'd a bit have you do that than verbs...

Get some different shoes :)
