Hi I had the essure procedure a few weeks ago and it was horrific. The pain was awful from start to finish. My doctor is amazing so I trust her. We started with ibuprofen for 24 hours prior. Then I took Valium an hour before. Waste of Co pay money. We started with a cervical block where she hit a nerve with the needle and I literally jumped off the table. Then the cramping bagan. Omg 15 out of 20 pain. I couldn’t breathe. It was surreal the amount of pain and prodding. My fallopian tubes kept spasming so they had to back out and re try. Once placed. I was given a heating pad and rest. I couldn’t lay there the pain was so bad I had to move. I was crawling out of my skin. I felt light headed getting dressed and was ushered out the door. I cried all the way home. I told my husband I will give it one hour after getting home and taking tramodol, if I’m still in pain I’m going to the ed. Thank god it took the edge off. I’m still cramping and bleeding weeks later . I wish I had done research before this because this is the worst thing I’ve ever done. Hopefully nothing goes wrong and I can forget what I’ve been thru.
