I had the Essure implanted in October 2011 after giving birth to my son in July 2011. Soon after the procedure I started experiencing joint pain, chronic lower back and abdominal pain, nausea, and two unexplained rashes. Initially I did not equate these pains with Essure. However, I have seen several doctors and they have not found anything specific that is causing my pain. The doctors have suggested my pain is likely due to stress, inflammation or sleep deprivation. I understand that stress and lack of sleep can cause health problems, but my pain has been chronic for two years and I am not chronically stressed or sleep deprived. It is my belief that the Essure implant is likely the cause for my pain. I am frustrated because when I have brought up the issue of Essure with my doctors they have dismissed it saying ‘it’s safe’ and ‘that is not likely the cause of your pain.’
