Swollen Ankles After Stopping Bc Tablets. Anything To Worry?
Hi,
I stopped taking birth control (oral contraceptive) almost 8 months ago. Ever since then my feet ankle swell randomly. When my menstrual cycle gets close they swell up even more. Never in my life had I ever experienced swollen ankles or feet before. Has the birth control permanently changed my body? Is this something I should be worried about? My ankles don't even look the same anymore. It's as if they have permanently changed.
