About 2 years ago in 2011 after having my 5th child I went in for my essure procedure. My doctor said it was the best choice for me and that it was completely safe. I was hesitant but was told their was no side affects and recovery was minimal. 3 months after essure was placed, I recieved confirmation that I was 100 percent blocked..Fast forward 2 years. I have had pain that has increasingly gotten worse. Over the past 2 yrs my legs go numb, I have been depressed and I have gaones over 30lbs. my menstrual cycles have been so heavy I end up passing out. In one day I soak through a whole box of super plus tampons. of course my doctorsdent it had anything to do with essure and refuse removal. I will be getting them remove when we can come up with the cash… I am scared for my life. the unkniwn scares me.
