leg pain

I have been having severe leg pain lately. It ranges from a crampy feeling to sharp pains. I am on bcp. Would you be concerned?

Is it one specific area? All over?

Mostly my calf. Sometimes in my outer thigh.

I would get that checked.

Being that those are points of major are arteries and veins, I would call your physician.

Ok. Both DH and my mom told me to call my doctor, but my mom tends to think the worst, then that freaks DH out, so I just blew it off.

This. Since some BC can cause blood clots, better to find out what it is. It maybe nothing, but I would hate for it to be a clot and have it travel to your heart or brain.

It's not hot to the touch or swollen as far as I can tell. I will call in the morning.
