i also had pain and swelling in my joints but not enough to drain. i had xrays done of my knee back and hips because i applied for disability. i couldn't stand for more than a few minutes to even do the dishes.
i relaxed and used up some unemployment benifits and then decided to go to another doctor. after a few months a was finally given real pain killers so i could work through the pain and go back to work. everyday i got a little better,
the new doc said it is degenerative Arthritis but i think its INFECTIOUS Arthritis from infection caused by the mirena, i never knew that was such a thing.
the mirena keeps the uterus inflammed for 5 years who in the world wants that? i don't see much difference in immflammation and infection i mean it only takes one germ.
