A member asked:

Does birth control cause pain in your stomach and muscle spasms in lower abdominal area when you stop taking it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When you stop: Many women will notice their menses become heavier and more painful when they stop taking ocps. And if you have other conditions (such as endometriosis) that the bcps help to treat, then you may have an increase in pelvic pain when you stop taking them.

A member asked:

Been injured for about a month, primarily in the left bicep but also radiating throughout the entire arm at moments. Severity of pain goes up and down. Went to urgent treatment, who said it was a pulled bicep muscle. I was wondering about a pinched nerve. Prior to this I was jarred down and landed on my back side, while in seated position. My upper abdomen and lower chest felt like it was compressed. Felt like everything had been pushed down. Any ideas? Thanks. Sore bicep/arm
