Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear Patient,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, this could well be signs of thromboembolism if she is already on the birth control pill, getting doppler done is a easy way to know about the problem.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
