Re: Mirena Shoulder/Back/Neck/Jaw Pain

Hi there - you are defo like me by the sound of it. I got mirena in Nove 08 and at the end of Jan got the most painful neckpain /head/shoulder pain which i was told firstly was an iritated nerve and then a muscle spasm, i also have been told it is arthritis, wear & tear,must have picked something up wrong and then would you belive 'menopause' makes you ache a bit!!! - i tried to tell them it was the mirena that i thought had caused this but no one would listen - two weeks after the neck/head pain started, a pain in my elbow started too and i couln't even pick up a cup - this with all the other horrible symptoms just seemed like too much of a coinsidence for it not to be related to the coil. I eventually, practically cried for them to take it out and that was in June and next day my arm started to feel better and within a week i could pick things up again without crying with pain. I've have PT, chiro and they were no help at all and agreed with the gp - that they 'couldn't see it being the coil' - i also have the clicking in my hip and knees and i still have my neck pain but its getting better every single day and i feel like a different person now - hope this helps x Tweet
