Desogestrel back and leg pain

[Sheep2]

Hi Everyone,

I've started taking desogestrel as treatment for endometriomas and fibroids. I've only been taking it for a couple of weeks but I'm getting terrible back and leg pain every morning. It wears off a bit during the day but comes back in the evening. Also I'm having to get up every night to go to the toilet as I wake up feeling uncomfortable, this then usually brings on the back pain. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if it wears off? I'm having trouble getting a Dr's appointment so could really do with some advice. I'm not sure whether to carry on taking it.

Thanks for reading, any advice would be much appreciated xx

Can you get an telephone message to your prescriber via medical secretaries with your symptoms and question? Your doctor really is the one who needs to advise. Best wishes

Hi, yes I'm going to try tomorrow but I probably won't get a reply for at least a week. Thanks for your reply xx
