My name is Danica and I had the essure placed in about May of 2010 after giving birth to my fourth child. I endured some pain after the procedure but was told it was normal. For the past 4 1/2 years I’ve suffered with alot of abdominal sharp pains. My menstrual cycle has also been very abnormal spotting really dark discharge 1 week before and the bleeding for 3 days off for 2 then again bleeding for 2. I thought since I had gotten my period at such a young age maybe it was menapaus early. I complained to my doctors of the abdominal pains but due to abdominal hernia in the past and Gaul stones which in Oct. 2012 I had my Gaul bladder removed I knew that that was the problem. Well the pains has never subsided. It is different I can tell the difference from the bladder pains that I once had and it is difenatley not that. I can’t stand or sit when they come at random and my period stays on so long that the pain last all month. I made the connection when I spoke to a friend who happens to be a nurse with the same symptoms. Stop the company from doing this to women. Now I see my only hope is a histerictomy.
