A member asked:
I have been on birth control for 7 years due to problem with my periods. i am now experiencing severe leg pain. could it be related to the medicine?

Maybe.: Birth control pills can lead to deep vein thrombophlebitis, especially if you smoke. If you have swelling with leg pain, see your doctor immediately, because dvt can lead to pulmonary embolism, a serious condition.
