What Causes A Lump On Leg After Using Nuvaring?

My daughter has recently started using the Nuvaring. Within 2 1/2 weeks she developed a lump on her leg that was red. Within a week she developed two more and the original one has tripled in size. They are painful, hard, and red. She has stopped using the Nuvaring and has scheduled an appointment to see her doctor. Do you know if this could be a side effect from the Nuvaring? I have not been able to find anything stating the two are connected.

Thank you!

HI,Dear, Thanks for the query from you for your lumpy leg in last 3-4 wks time post-nuvaring.1-I am happy that you are serious to know why these lumps ,though painful are increasing after nuvaring.2-In my opinion , I would advise you to -get the blood pt test done and CBC and Fbs and pps,-as these lumps have suddenly cropped up after the nuvaring, whihc may cause thrombotic lumps in the legs even after the mild traumas, which she might have had.3-In a wks times later- old one grew three times and new one cropped up and all these lumps are red and painful, which indicates infection of the post-traumatic and post-nuvaring-hematomas on your leg over last 3-4 wks time.
4-Still I would advise opinion of Surgeon , who would advise-Antibiotics and NSAID's for few days time,by which the lumps in your legs would get resolved in next 2 wks time , or if required may be relieved after the proper draining of the lumps,if the surgeon feels so.
5-And as you are worried for the lumpy leg-, I would advise you to Stop Nuvaring till the doctor checks the blood and treats your leg lumps or, else the condition may worsten more if you continue with Nuvaring,as its causing all these leg lumps ,I feel so,from the facts of your query.6-This change in medicine would take care of the worry you had with the post-nuvarin painful red leg lumps.7-Hope this would solve your worry of the chin lump positively.8-So urgtly take -the advise from the ER Surgeon and change the medicines 7-Hope this would solve your query.8-Wellcome to HCM for any more query.
