What Causes Numbness In The Shoulder After Taking Sprintec?

My 16 year old daughter started taking Sprintec birth control 3 days ago. Today she started complaining of numbness in her shoulder and a pain in her left arm. I called the pediatrician on call at the hospital. They said to stop giving her the pill and call her doctor on Monday?

Hi,

As a physician I would like to tell you that the pediatrician was absolutely right in advising you to stop pill I would recommend that you should go to a ER if the feeling worsens else you should go to the doctor on monday and get clinical evaluation and investigations done.

Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.

Have a nice day.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
