A member asked:
My mother take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for one week for neurological pain then after one week her left leg is stiff and swollen is this from the drug? is it dangerous? how long does it take to go away? what should we do?

See doctor: It is not likely that the medication is causing the leg swelling. What you described suggests venous thrombosis and there is risk of severe consequences. It is imperative that you see a doctor, immediately or go to the emergency department of a nearby hospital. Wish you and your mother good health!
