I take ovranette oral contraceptive,  Im finishing my second pack so been using it for 7 weeks.  In that time,  Ive noticed Im experiencing painful joint pain in my wrist but predominantly my elbows.  I feel I have no strength in my elbow joints and both are very still and painful when I use my hands.  Im wondering if this could be a side-effect of the ovranette or a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis.  Prior to ovranette,  I took cilest,  but had to stop as I was suffering severe back pain. Thanks. Catherine.
Hi, thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. Joint pains is not an established complication or side effect of Jeanette. There are numerous causes for joint pains occurring in multiple joints. A detailed clinical examination and appropriate blood investigations are needed to establish a correct diagnosis. I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and further management. Hope this information is helpful. Good day
