General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern. MIniville patch is estradiole hormone patch, used for minimizing symptoms of menopause / oophorectomy ( removal of ovaries ).
* Actually Miniville is not known to cause leg pain, on the other it avoids boney weakness seen in menopause. I feel the pain you have is due to overexertion in hospital duty. You should think of calcium & vitamin D supplement & regular leg exercises.
* I feel you should get a check up by a physician for excluding/ diagnosing varicose veins.
- IN case it's present you should discuss dropping the Miniville patch ( for thromboembolism is one of it's side effect.
Thanks.
