Common Questions and Answers about Nuvaring and joint pain

nuvaring

Avatar f tn ve started voltrex and Tylenol 3s for the pain. The outbreak started mid period. I am supposed to be inserting a new nuvaring in a few days. Sadly the outbreak will not be over. I'm concerned that inserting the ring will allow the virus access to the inside of my vagina. Currently the sores are all external. I will have to touch the sores to be able to effectively insert the nuvaring. Is it safe to do so mid-outbreak or should i wait a few weeks until it clears up.
680813 tn?1288000698 I was on Acutane for my acne at age 21 and started have joint pain and had no idea what it was...when oit got worse I figured okay well maybe its my vitamins birthcontrol or acutane so i stopped all three, next morning was fine!
Avatar f tn Hi Lisa, OK have just done a little reaserch, and yes Nuvaring could be the reason for your ongoing cramps or cramping, if you google Nuvaring bad cramping 2 years, you will find your not the only one, and if you go down somebody is doing a survey on Nuvaring, so you can add to it if you fill that way. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn YES! It can cause diabetes! It is listed as glucose intolerance in the side effects. I went though 8 months of #@!& on nuvaring. I went to the doc because I wad exhausted all of the time, fuzzy brained, and starting to loose my hair. When I asked if it could be the birth control, my question was dismissed. They tried to put me on all of this medication for slightly elevated blood sugar. I refused. I decided to go off the nuvaring, which I was on only for acne.
Avatar f tn The only meds I'm on currently are the Vyvanse (50 mg) for ADHD, and Nuvaring. When my TMJ flares up, I manage it with over-the-counter ibuprofen (I'll usually take 4 200mg tablets) and a joint pain topical rub (I usually use the generic version of IcyHot). It doesn't get rid of all the pain, but it dulls it enough so that I can function. I also frequently develop sinus headaches (about 3 or 4 times a week), which I'm pretty sure are related to the TMJ.
Avatar f tn s NuvaRing related, probably just a tear) and still had the lower back pain. I do have a lot of health anxiety from all the issues I've had in the past year but now I'm wondering if NuvaRing could be causing it? I want to take it out but I'll wait until I can call my doctor on Monday.

Avatar n tn Many people have experienced pains and light bleeding while having intercourse and using nuvaring. It seems to affect everyone differently, but it's very likely the nuvaring is the source of your problems. I would suggest trying a different form of birth control, as this one is obviously not for you.
Avatar n tn All of the extra hormones, including the hormones inside of the semen, make your vagina very sensitive to semen. When i was on the nuvaring...semen burned. Nuvaring=hormones. No nuvaring and not pregnant=fine. Now 36 weeks pregnant and semen burns.
889551 tn?1416184483 Lexi is nine months old now, and I quit birth control three or four months ago because I tried the NuvaRing and hated it (my cervix was really low when I put it in, and it made it uncomfortable). This month I had spotting at ovulation, and I didn't think anything of it until DH told me that the condom had broke two days before the spotting started. At 8 dpo I started spotting and have been spotting brown and red ever since.
Avatar n tn I just looked up Nuvaring and it looks like chest pain and numbness on one side of the body are side effects. http://www.medhelp.org/drugs/NuvaRing/show/3399 I don't know if you would typically experience these symptoms so quickly though.
730826 tn?1317943334 I'm on nuvaring too and I'm usually way more than 3 days late. I'll take the ring out on Sunday and then won't get my period until Friday. I know how you feel, though. I get totally freaked out when my period is late too. But the reply before yours, peekawho, is right. Wait a week and test again.
1927233 tn?1326670387 This pain seems to be due to endometriosis and anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) may be all that you need to control pain. Birth control hormones help shrink endometrial tissue and reduce pain for most women. They are also likely to keep endometriosis from getting worse. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar n tn I am also allergic to latex and tried the NuvaRing and had quite a severe latex allergic reaction to it. I ripped my Gyno a new one after that happened. I understand that it's technically latex-free, but it contains the same main ingredient as latex (which is what caused the reaction) and I feel that needs to be mentioned on the box at least.
Avatar f tn I had sex fathers day and the 29th and the condom broke but i hav the nuva ring and i got my period but its lasts 3-4 days well i put nuvaring back in on july 5th then had unprotected sex (pull out) on the 7th of july i feel different always hungry n and expect period in a wk wen can i test or how do i kno for sure if test is negative could it be from nuvaring because with my 2yo i had missed period n tested negative
Avatar f tn So I've been using the nuvaring for around 5 years now and it's been pretty normal for me. this past cycle when I was supposed to take my ring out I took it out 1 day early (it usually goes 30 days) because I was getting the most AWFUL cramps I've ever felt. I'm bloated, and basically can't stand without some pain (constantly feeling like I need to poop essentially). Anyways, I got my period on Thursday night (took it out Tuesday) and it's been extremely light.
Avatar f tn For 9 days now I have been suffering from a non-stop head pain on the left side of my head and at times it turns into an unbearable headache..migraine type..that lasts nearly all day, preventing me from doing my daily activitied because its so painful. I have also been woken up at night by an awful stabbing pain on both sides of my head, almost like an electric shock. Very painful. I have never been diagnosed with migraines. My dr has scheduled me for an MRI of the brain next week.
Avatar f tn 3 months ago I switched to Nuvaring from the pill. Hubby and I were going to wait until the spring to start ttc. My dr said I could leave my ring in for 4 weeks to avoid my period so technically I haven't had my period since October 9. I have exactly 1 week until I can either take it out for my period or leave it in to avoid it. I have been bloated and hungry all the time. Yesterday I was exhausted after shopping for 2 hours and napped when I woke up I was so nauseous.
Avatar f tn We had sex on Sunday before I was due to put my nuvaring in that day and all was normal. Sunday night, I inserted my nuvaring and starting monday I have had the worst vagina odor ever. I smelled it Monday, washed it and went on my way but it doesn't go away. It is not a fishy smell, it is a foul rotten smell. My boyfriend and I were having sex last night and he smelled it and asked me about it.
Avatar m tn I recently had unprotected sex with my new girlfriend who is on the Nuvaring birth control (however isn't any longer due to this problem) and a couple days later I noticed an intense burning sensation on my penis head and shaft. I started taking Benadryl from the advice from a Pharmacist, suspecting it was an allergic reaction to the Nuvaring. The Benadryl helped slightly but I cannot function on it since it really knocks me out.
Avatar n tn Gall bladder disease is quite common in females and it typically produces nausea and abdominal pain esp after eating. Eat small nutritious meals at frequent intervals instead of a heavy single meal. Exercise frequently and take your dinner atleast 2 hrs prior to bedtime. Also raise the head end of the bed by 2 blocks. To help control the stomach acid, one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them, or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods .
1047543 tn?1270396878 I always have unprotected sex because I was on the ring but last week I began to feel nauseous and extremely drowsy!
