I had the Essure placed in 2010. I had miscarried while on Mirena and my MD thought this would be better than me getting a hysterectomy. I had asked for the Hysterectomy as this miscarriage was my 4th pregnancy and I was 44 y/0!
I was doing ok for a little while but I have developed, since about 2011, really painful joint and back pain. By 2012 I was taking large doses of Ibuprofen for he severe back and joint pain. As I type this, I am having weird episodes of dizziness that have been on and off for the past 3 years.
I would love to know if this is really due to the Essure because I would like to spend more time feeling good and not feeling like I have the joints of an 90 y/0 former running back!
