Hi my name is melissa im 29 years old .I live in Athens,Tn.I just want to share my story about the ‘essure’ procedure that i had done .I had my procedure done back in 2006,after my last child .I have 4 amazing children who i love dearly but 4 kids was enough for me , so that being said thats why i chose to get the procedure ‘essure’ done .My doctor had told me that ‘essure’was a non painful ,non surgery easy procedure so i decided to do it so he scheduled do do the procedure 3 days later .I went in and got it done came out ok i was hurting a little and a mild discomfort .about 4 months after having this done i started having very severe pains in my abdomen thinking nothing about it since i was on my period .so i didnt worry that much but i still had pain i never had felt and bleeding more than i ever had (heavily ).i had a check up in 2 days anyways so i just waited .when i went in i told him what i had been feeling and he just said it might had been from my period ,so he sent me home .2 weeks had passed and i started feeling alot of pressure and severe pain in my abdomen agian that just wouldnt go away .so i took some tylenol and midol and it started to go away .so me and my husband started getting a little heated up( trying not to be nasty lol)(if u know what im trying to say )but anyways ,while in the middle of our moment i started feeling sick and i started to experince excruciating pain in the right side bottom part of my stomach trying not to tell him and ruin the moment i just let it go but afterwards i went to the bathroom and as i was walking another big pain hit me and i bent over in the floor hurting so bad i yelled at my husband to come help me i got up and went and layed down crying my eyes out in pain .I didnt sleep at all that night .The next day i called my doctor and he told me to come in so i did telling him what happened he checked me and said nothing was wrong .I started to get worried bc i had never felt like that before .I wanted a second opinion so i went to another doctor to only get told the same thing .I even had him to check to make sure i had no stds,everything come back negitive.I just couldnt understand what was going on with me .Having 4 kids i was on my feet constantly and the pain just wouldnt go away.About 5 months after( still having all this pain),I startex to experince other symptoms,such as breaking in to sweats, severe back pain,my hips would go completely numb ,tingling in my legs and fingers ,bloating,and shaking , then i started to get panic attacks .I just couldnt bare all this stuff happening to me ,but i just couldnt get any answers .I started to get mad and frustrated at my self and the doctors .so i made a appointment with a doctor 2 hours from me and told them everything that i have been experiencing and told them no doctor could figure this out .I got them to understand me and they did more test and agian nothing .At this point i was at my boiling point i was going to explode .I was so worried .I asked my self over and over what am i going to do? when am i going to get answers?I was so mad that i demanded my doctor to check on the ‘essure ‘ thing .so he done a procedure to go in my belly button to check to see if everything was ok with it .(They all looking at me like i was stupid ) (Even to one of the nurses said it was all in my head ) Seriously ? .anyways he put a scope through my belly button to look to see if everything was ok but i was on anesthesia so he told my mom he would make me a appointment for me to come talk to him in his office in 2 days .2 days later i went in for my appointment there he told me that the ‘essure’ thing had moved to the right thats why i was having pain ,but he said he couldnt do anything about it so there fore i was left in all this pain and suffering .He also said that he had bad news to tell me he said i had endrotrmesios which at the moment i didnt know what that was but he explained to me what it was .I dont know if the ‘essure’ was the cause of that or not ,but i sure didnt want to have it .To this day i still have severe pain all the symptoms .Having all this has made me depressed and hurt and in so much pain that i have missed out on alot of my kids things that they do bc of this procedure.I know this is a long story (im sorry ) i just wanted and needed to share this with other women .I thought i was alone .so im glad to share my story with other women who is experiencing this .Thank you all for reading my story god bless you all ……..p.s. To the women that had this done and having pain im sorry .To the women that are going to get it please rethink it and dont get it please (.Thanks melissa )
