Hello.The symptoms that you refer are not usually associated with IUD (alone or those that release a drug called levonorgestrel).
Other diagnoses should be considered.
Swelling of legs is common in many women during the cycle.
Tingling and high blood pressure, anxiety is a very common cause.
Visit your doctor to rule out these diagnosis.
However, if these diagnoses are rule out and your symptoms continue, your gynecologist can assess about use another contraceptive method.
I wish you good health.
