Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a call into our dr , but my daughter started the pill lat Sunday and after 4 days on the pill she had bruising on legs and a pain in left arm. She stopped it on Friday but still has pain in arm. I am waiting to hear back from her PCP , do you think she should go to ER ?
Yes I would rather go to ER as the pill can cause a variety of blood problems and can result in clotting. It is important to go in to rule out thrombosis in the arm and check the full blood picture.
