I had the Essure coils put in last October. Felt like something was wrong from the moment they tried to put the right side in. The pain was excruciating. I was later told I had an ovarian cyst and figured that was the cause of the pain. It kept getting worse. Pain in my pelvic area and into my hips and down my leg. And started on my left side too. For several months I had a ‘normal period’ but with incredible cramping and ovarian pain. Again I just figured I was having common ovarian cysts, and chalked it up to something I had to deal with. Around the same time I started getting bad head aches and pain in my hips down the front of my legs. I also have deficits from a previous brain surgery. So many of my symptoms are ignored and explained away by that. But the last several months my periods started coming sooner and sooner. The last few months I’ve had it every two weeks. And I between I have very cloudy urine often with tissue and brown discharge. Whatever is happening it is not normal. And I believe the Essure is to blame.
