I had the procedure done in 2012 and that was the absolute worst pain I have ever experienced. Everything had been fine up until Labor Day of this year. I have had a stabbing sharp pain in my abdomen/pelvic area everytime I went to the bathroom and has graduated to anytime. I have had lower back pain that doesn’t go away no matter what I do. I have also had joint (hip) pain as well as headaches. I have had an ovarian cyst rupture for the first time in my 38 years. I have had an ultrasound, ct scan, mri, and a colonoscopy with no apparent cause of the pain. My sister and my husband both asked if it could be the Essure but I didn’t think so at the time. Now after reading all these stories of similar symptoms I am beginning to think maybe it is the Essure. I have an appointment with my OBGYN soon to discuss whats going on. I will give y’all an update as soon as I can. Thank you to everyone who has been brave enough to put their stories out there. I no longer feel like I’m a wimp or that its all in my head.
