What Causes Pain And Numbness In Legs Along With Lupus Pain?

Hi Dr, Hope all is well. I have recently been diagnosed with Factor V for blood clots (Thrombosis) My GP advised me not to go onto the birth control pill. As i am getting married soon i went to n Gyne (New Dr) and he said no its fine i can go onto Yasmin as i have used it before as a teenager and nothing happened he insisted that the Factor V test was unnecessary and claimed that 9 out of 10 people have it.... I have been taking the pill for a week now but have been experiencing numbness and pain in my legs. I also have Lupus so pain is not something new to me. This feels different tho, legs feel stiff, weak and uncomfortable. Please can you advise Best Regards Monique

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that there can be many reasons of such pain. Like lack of vitamins, fatigue but i do not think it is related to factor V. So I would suggest you to visit a orthopaedic surgeon and get your vitamin B 12 and vitamin D examination. If there is lack of these vitamin it can cause such symptoms. Also some time there can be lack of carnation in muscles. So for that you need to take Acyl carnation. Factor V deficiency make you susceptible to clots. Avoid OCP as they can also promote clots.
