Its so good to know that these joint pains will go away....every single day (a week and a day) I notice that I am feeling better. The blood is finally slowing down, definately not gone yet though. About your uterus being sore....mine was right after I had it removed and for about 3 days afterwards. Like when I would cough it would hurt. Doctors really need to warn of the side effects of this Mirena. I wrote to the FDA yesterday about this.
