My daughter was given Yaz because she had horrible cramps and fatigue during her periods. Within 3 weeks she had pain in the back of her thigh - mostly while walking up stairs. Then her leg felt heavy. We went to two doctors and they didn't find anything. On week six, she woke up with such excruciating chest pain that she could not talk or reach her phone on the bedside table. When I found her she had been sitting upright crying silently for hours.
