Left Shoulder Pain. I Have Been Using Loestrin. Is The Pain Because Of Tablet?
I am on Junel 1/20 (Loestrin) and started having left shoulder/arm pain yesterday and to day. Feels muscular in upper arm and in the shoulder joint. About 20 years ago I had bilateral arm pain at night but never associated it with birth control I may have been on this same pill then, but don't remember. The arm pain just went away over several years and now it is back starting yesterday and I just started taking this pill again, been on it for 3 weeks now. Is it possible this pain is from the pill?

Hello Junel,
I m afraid, but i didnt have heard any case of either shoulder pain or any other bodily pain with patients taking oral contraceptives.
You also have a history of pill consumption without any pain complains. It might be due to pain which is due to muscle sprain or rarely may be referred from some other sources like left breast, or left axillary lymph nodes etc
If pain is not relived then get a xray of left shoulder done and let it be checked by a orthopaedician !!!
get well soon
