Hi my name is Amy. I am 42yrs old. I had the essure procedure done in 2009 or 10. Every since then I have experienced lower back pain that wraps around my pelvic gurdle. More headaches than I can count, vagina infections, exscessive bowel movements. This has caused me alot of pain for years. I thought I had a bad back or hip or even STI’s or STD’s. Nothing ever comes back positive, but I still have the same pain. So when I saw this it maded me think that maybe I’m experiencing some problems with the essure as well. I do plan on bringing this up to my Doctor. She didn’t do the procedure my OB Doctor did. I would like to hear more about this and be an advocate as well in the future for the voices that may not have been in heard in the past. Women should be told the whole truth, not just some of it. when I got this down it was new. I feel I took the risk knowing this was a newer procedure on the market, but I also feel the FDA would of hammered out the problems prior to giving it the okay on the market. I hope we can all come to together to make a positive change for the future, and the patients suffering in silence like myself. I want these coils out!
