Is it normal to have numb feeling in leg while taking birth control?
Patient: i have been on birth control for about a year now, recently i changed bc because of my mood swings. lately before going to bed i will move around you know. and for the last three months my left leg will have a numb feeling to it, so of course i move it around. it only take a few moment for it to go back to normal. i was wondering if this is normal or i should talk to my doctor? Doctor: Hi dear and thanks for your query.As you may know the main side effect by the use of birth control is deep vein trombosis ,almost in predisposed  women .Hence while you have one year now ,on birth control and have numb feeling on your left leg ( is a sign of deep vein trombosis),switch of birth control and contact with your follow -up doctor.All the best
