Do any women here suffer from restless leg syndrome as a side effect of the pill?
Tonight, my sister came to me panicked thinking she was suffering from a blood clot. She told me that she felt weird shivers and numbness in her legs and she said it had happened a few times just since she started on the pill last week. She was really scared because she is a smoker also and was warned against smoking while on it too.
I found out it was probably RLS but I still want to make sure that it is just that and nothing more. Is this a usual condition to have alongside taking the pill?
On another note, what are the best ways of treating it? I already know that warm baths and stretching help but are there others?
@Leo
I know it's not a common side effect but from what I read, it seems RLS can come up because of an increase in estrogen.

RLS is not a side effect of the pill.
She needs to check back in with the doctor about side effects such as blood clots
I don't think it's as serious as you both think. Just relax and call the doctor.
