Joint Pain And Visanne Long Term

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Alberta, AL

I’ve been on Visanne about 3+ years now. This past year I’ve had joint pain in my hips, knees, fingers, and it’s especially terrible in my shoulders. Dr says it’s not arthritis, and I’m not sure if it’s related to the pills or not. I should add that I’m 23 so joint pain at my age seems a bit strange. Anyone else taking Visanne long term experience this?

I am also on visanne. I have joint pain but I have a laundry list of other problems it’s likely caused by. I thought I’d mention that the mechanism of visanne reduces the amount of estrogen in the body. Estrogen itself is a natural pain killer. I was even reading a journal the other day on how estrogen was used to treat joint pain. Potentially your lack of estrogen could be contributing to your issue.

Hi. I'm on the 4th month using visanne. Last week I am starting to feel this come and go joint pain on my hips, my back and leg bones. I still can handle the pain though, but I'm not sure if it will last like this. I am wondering if the pain happened because of visanne or other condition.

Hi thank you for the advice! When I searched I didn’t see anything resembling my question come up but I will hunt around a bit more.
