Very long story short, started having problems right away and was dismissed by more than 4 doctors. Went through ever test known to man with nothing found. Finally 8 years after I had device put in, I asked for a full hysterectomy.
During the surgery they found the device had punctured my Fallopian tube and had been damaging my colon. My colon actually created lesions to pull itself away from the device and protect itself.
They had to call in another surgeon to clean up lesions and put my colon back in place before they could continue my hysterectomy.
Finally, after recovery I am like a new person. Or at least back to my old self!
