I had the Essure put in. My doctor told me it was a safe and simple procedure. I thought it would be a better option than birth control pills for me because of all the side effects. I went for my low pressure test to see if it worked and the doctor performing the test freaked. The devices were not it the proper place and there were three of them instead of two.
My regular Obgyn called to schedule an appointment immediately. I knew something was wrong, but my doctor said everything was fine. I needed to schedule a tubal ASAP. I’ve been having severe stabbing pains in my abdomen. I’m worried something is very wrong and my doctor does not want to take the blame. I do not have the money to spend on a tubal surgery so they can fix me without me knowing something is wrong. I’m not sure what to do or who to talk to. The doctors I’ve tried to talk to about a second opinion have not wanted to deal with the issues I have. Any suggestions?
