I got the essure procedure done in October 2011, after having my second child. I have had pelvic/abdominal pain since I got them in. I also get headaches (I hardly ever did before), feel tired, bloated, and I get back pain. I called my doctor who put them in and she acted like it wasn’t the essure causing my problems, but said she could do a hysterectomy or some procedure that she couldn’t guarantee all of the coil would be out. I’m 24 and I do not either of those. I found a center in North Carolina that specializes in removing them, and am looking to go there. I’m done having these coils in me.
