On the pill with leg cramps

On the pill with leg cramps

Hi,
I'm 18 and im currently on the pill. I'm very active, I run and swim up to 30 hours a weeek. However I have noticed that i have a reoccuring cramp in my right calf.  It tends to hang around for hours, even days before going away and even then it will come back in less than a weeks time.  I have never experienced anything like this with all of my activities.  It feels just like a cramp that normal stretching would help get rid of but stretching does not seem to help.  I'm worried it might be a blood clot since this is one of the risk factors associated with being on the birth control pill.  Any other ideas? What should I do?

Definitely let your doctor know about this ASAP.  Could be nothing serious but it is better to get it checked out and make sure.
