I had only been on Nuvaring for about a year when I started swelling from my ankles up! It got worse every week until it got to the point I couldn't wear my clothes or shoes and couldnt bend my fingers to change the baby's diaper. It was horrible. I was 21 yrs old. After 5 doctors and numerous tests, a rheumatologist decided to diagnose me with inflammatory arthritis. That was 4 yrs ago. I am still in so much pain and I am on medication to control the pain. I know it was the Nuvaring that caused these problems and I would give anything to never have used it. My doctors say its not the cause but how do you explain arthritis in a 21 yr old when all the lab work and X-rays say there is nothing wrong.
