What Causes Swelling In The Hands Post Birth Control Patch Withdrawal?
Yes, I ve been on some type of birth control pill since I was approx. 26 yrs. old & then was placed on a patch when I was going thru memopause at approx. 40/45 yr. old. Now I am 78 and abt 2-1/2 yrs. ago was taken off the patch (as insurance wouldn t pay for it). I have gone to one PA & my hands swelled up so bad that I couldn t write, etc., etc. and felt terrible. After nearly a year I went to another doctor & he gave me the similar medicine & I started loosing my memory and having all sorts of problems. Is their anyway I can go back on a patch as I had no problems with them???? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
It may be due to local allergic response to the patch. But the memory issues may not be related to it. However, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
