Swelling of the ankles symptoms and conditions

I had the Mirena inserted on April 2009, I have recently decided to have it removed because of the side effects since the Mirena - Weight gain, acne, mood swings, and swelling of the ankles and soreness of the foot. Without the insertion I had less bleeding, I spot for almost 3 weeks in which plays a role on my sex life. I don't know if this is related but diagnosed for low potassium level. I'm glad I found this website because I had no idea there were so many related cases. I'm calling my doctor today to have it removed.

Although this isn't a side effect I wasn't quite sure where to post it... But my question is: Do you know anyone or did you get pregnant while using the Yasmin birth control pill? I know that these pills make your body think it's pregnant but I think I may actually be pregnant. Although I don't "feel" pregnant my body sure is acting like it is, I.E. sore breasts, weird cravings and aversions to food, headaches, very tired, very hungry etc. Has anyone had these side effects too and you weren't pregnant? Thanks!

I can't believe that so many doctors don't know about the side effects of Kenalog and/or don't advise their patients about them. It's unbelievable!!! My father was a very well-known rheumatologist in Puerto Rico (he passed away in 1994) and I worked with him for many years. And one of the first things I learned about Kenalog (and all corticosteroids) were its possible side effects, the most common ones being redness or pain at the injection site, headache, menstrual period changes and/or post-menopausal bleeding, easy bruising and/or bleeding, swelling of the ankles/feet, persistent weight gain, puffy face, unusual hair growth and thinning of the skin, among many others. In case you want to learn more about this, you can visit ******.

I myself am post-menopausal although I'm only 51, and haven't had my period for over two years now. Two weeks ago I got a shot of Kenalog for my back pain and about three days later started spotting, and right now I'm having full vaginal bleeding. I don't worry cause I know it was the Kenalog, but since I have an appointment on the 29th with my gynecologist, she'll tell me if anything has to be done.

Anyway, I hope to have helped the soooo many women who have soooo many doubts about Kenalog. Take care, friends! TutiMM from Florida

I was on 50 mg Toprol for about five months when pressure went up...doctor put me on 100 mg. During the 50 mg time, I did gain some belly weight, extreme swelling of the ankles, and a feeling that my heart was beating too fast even though it wasn't. When I went to the 100 mg pill, within a week I have a rash all over...bumps that itch like crazy. I have noticed more chills...then a feeling like a hot flash. I am weaning myself off...four days of 50 mg, couple days of 25 mg, and now I'm even splitting that. My doctor told me to go right to another drug...Zestril. I'm going to try to wait a few days. Even though I am tapering off of Toprol, the rash is still here. Maybe it takes awhile for the Toprol to be completely out of system.

swelling of the ankles and feet.Two people taking niaspan
started swelling after two months of taking niaspin.Could this be a side effect ?

Muscle weekness, swelling of the ankles, potassium deficiency (don't ask me how, it says on the information packet that you should not use Yasmin if you are on potassium supplements0, plus depression.

I have been on zyprexa three weeks now, have swelling of the ankles and legs, dry mouth at night, have to sip on water a few times. Tongue sticks to roof of mouth, mouth so dry. I also experience blurred vision have to keep blinking my eyes. I am on 5mg in mornings and 5mg at night.... voice seems to get hoarse if I speak for a length of time... Also can't seem to concentrate on reading anything for too long...
Don't know how long I will be on this pill, can't afford weight gain, have 70 to lose as is.... sincerely Judy
