Lower back aches symptoms and conditions

How long does it take for the side effects to get out of your system and go away??? I was on NuvaRing for the past 5 months. At first it seemed okay, besides the constant bleeding. That went away and then horrible side effects began. My Dr. told me it would just take a little while for my body to adjust. Well..finally after 5 months, I TOOK IT OUT yesterday for good. I have had very bad lower back aches, horrible leg cramps on and off, a yeast infection ( which is gone since i took it out yesterday), anxiety, and zero patience. I feel like I have been living in a different world for 5 months...my poor kids and husband!! I am so ready to be back to my laid back happy self!

I just got it "installed" on Monday, August 6th... I experinced mild cramping at first, my left leg feels sore and my lower back aches. I haven't broken out or had any other abnormal bleeding - yet... How soon did everyone else experience other side effects?? I'm kinda nervous about weight gain, hair falling out!!, acne,.. loss/lowered sex drive - - please help!!

I have been on nuvaring for about 9 months. I have the followin symptoms:

-tired all the time
-horrible headaches
-smelly discharge
-lower back aches
-hate having sex
-weight gain
-very very moody

I havn't had any of these problems until after getting on the nuvaring. I never thought it would be the nuvaring until i found this website. I have 2 kids so i always thought that stress and work was making me tired. I seem to never catch up on sleep! I have low thyroid so i even thought it was that so i went and saw my Dr. but my thyroid was fine, but i was still soooo tired! I am soo mean to my husband and other people. I snap so easily now! I get soo agravated! This is not me!! I have the worst headaches ever! My back hurts all the time & when i stand up too long it hurts really bad down there. & again, i thought maybe because of having kids, but i never had these problems before i got on nuvaring & my oldest child is 3! This discharge is discusting! Alot comes out when i pull my ring out! & it smells reall bad! I smell all the time because of this discharge! In the past 4 months i have gained weight, so bad i even thought i might be pregnant! Oh & i got my 1st yeast infection being on nuvaring! I have never had one in my life before!! & i hate having sex, i just hate it!! I get soo mad when my husband even mentions sex! This nuvaring has messed my life up! I just took it out a few days ago b/c im on my period! I'm not putting it back in and hopefully things will get better!!!!

My husband was diagnosed with MS 2 1/2 years ago. He has been on Lipitor for about 1 year. Within the past 4 months, his walking has gotten worse. Where it used to be just his right leg, now it is his left as well. Severe leg cramps, fatigue -which could be the MS - trouble keeping balance - also could be MS - lower back aches, slurred speach and memory loss. I know alot of these are associated with MS but after reading all the other letters, I am beginning to wonder if his walking has gotten worse due to the Lipitor. He used to have trouble walking but with a cane, could go for miles. Now he can't even walk 15 minutes without almost falling. A friend of ours stopped taking the Lipitor and felt better within 1 week. I am hoping the same happens to my husband. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories.

lower back aches, both arms hurt so much that I can't lift anything or even brush my hair, shortness of breath. but also take plavix so don't really know which one causing it.

I seem to have lower back aches since I've been on vagifem.Is it possible that is a side effect?

I started welchol 1 yr ago at the age of 40.I got lower back aches, muscle crampping,constapation and stopped taking it. My HCP said that it does not cause it and I started it again.My backaches came back with alot of other pains and muscle cramping.I suffer from insomnia and the inablity to relax or stay in the sun too long.My body began to stop abosorbing follic acid , B12. My HCP keeps increasing the dosage of welchol.Started with 1 @ breakfast, 1 @ dinner,then 2+2,now 3+3. I am now being diagnosed with pernicious animia.Along with this I may have nerve damage. Should I be taking this drug. Can it have caused or associated any of these problems.

I started welchol 1 yr ago.I got lower back aches, muscle crampping,constapation,backaches came back with alot of other pains muscle cramping,insomnia and the inablity to relax or stay in the sun too long. I am now being diagnosed with pernicious animia (B12 Deficiency). Has anyone out there been tested for B12 Deficiency in there blood work? This is not a factor in my family history. before I started with welchol I had normal levels in everthing but Cholesterol area. I found a new doctor that is going to take me off it and see if there are any changes in the B12 factor.If anyone has these symtoms and can get tested for B12 def. Please post!
