I had essure implanted in 2011. It wasn’t long until my symptoms started. Heavy periods, very painful cramps, irregular periods, lower back pains, severe headaches everyday. I had no clue what was causing all this. I eventually called my OBGYN explained my symptoms and he eventually suggested a Thermal Balloon Ebrasion. I got some relief from that but the headaches continued. Then 2015 all my symptoms reappeared ten fold! I was having 3-4 periods a month! It was like it never stopped and the symptoms never went away. I had a hysterectomy in February 2016. Haven’t had a headache since then. I’m still recovering from surgery but overall I feel much better.
