Re: Do these symptoms sound like a Mirena issue?

Hi there,

I think it could be related. Prior to being on mirena I would occasionally experience some back pain while ovulating. After the mirena was in I experienced some significant back pain on and off. I would take ibuprofen but it seemed to just come and go as it pleased. Nothing really caused it.

After having mirena out I have experienced numerous other issues. Including some GI stuff...they found that my gall bladder had a lower ejection fraction however concluded that it wasn't so low that it needed removed and in the grand scheme of things I had other GI issues that may have been causing it to function at the lower rate. I had some pretty severe back pain with this. First on and off and then constant for several weeks until they figured some things out. Occasionally I still get it when I eat too much of something that doesn't agree with the gall bladder.

Having said this I never really had abdominal pain except for 2-3 weeks after insertion when my abdomen and back hurt pretty badly. It felt like early labor and was constant.

Also, I know that some of my back pain was "linked to GI issues. But I am very healthy and never had ANY issues prior to any of this mirena crap. I believe that the mirena threw my body off balance and caused the issue as well as many other issues. Either way if I were you keep persuing answers even if it means connecting with someone who can guide you through natural methods to deal with the symptoms given all else comes back normal. One thing that had helped me is to eat more natural foods as much as possible.

You also may want to consider taking the IUD out. If nothing else it can eliminate it as a factor since there is no true proof that any of our issues are linked to it. My guess is that over time you will have less and less symptoms after removal. Best of luck. Hope this helped a bit. Tweet
