        My mom has been on Tafinlar/Mek combo for quite some time and she always usually has some sort of joint swelling. They have checked her for blood clots, which she has never had. Seems to be more "accepted" as a possible side effect of the meds. In the beginning she was told that it was not a documented side effect.
