Mirena and PAIN
| Fri, 01-12-2007 - 11:08pm |
~Hello
I had the Mirena inserted at the end of June of last year and I loved it after the constant spotting went away. But the last two months I got the most severe menstral cramps ever. This month, I started my spotting on the 2nd and I thought, wow, no cramps. Than the next day I got the most severe cramping ever. It hurt so bad and so deep in the right side of my lower abdomen, it radiated to my right hip bone and down to my right knee. By Saturday the 6th I was still kind of crampy. Not a severe pain, but it lingered kind of dull. Today the 12th I'm not bleeding but I'm cramping in the lower right abdomen again. It kinda hurts my hip bone again. Is this normal? I got really worried about an eptopic pregnancy, but we are really careful. One thought is that maybe the thing moved...? I thought this was supposed to lessen or eliminate my period. Mine aren't heavy but they can go on for a week, before I only had 4 days. I'm really begining to think that life was better before Mirena and maybe I should have it removed. Does this get better? The insertion was really painful (they had to move my cervix) and I don't want to go there unless I really have to.
