I had the essure put in about two years ago after being assured by my gyno that this was the safest and most reliable option of permanant birth control. I had issues with the placement first off, they couldn’t get one side in all the way. I was in pain for the first few weeks but I kept being told it was normal. When is pain ever normal really. But I trusted my doctor. Two years later I am still dealing with CONSTANT pain in my lower back, it feels like my hip is dislocated. I have been to numerous chiropractors and massage therapists who can find nothing wrong. I have always been a very tiny person weighing in at just over 100 lbs. But I have gained 38 lbs. since having the essure put in that will not come off. Painful intercourse, mood swings, and worst of all the severe headaches. These headaches have forced me to have to quit two jobs. I have 4-5 headaches per week! I have now contacted another gyno since seeing these accounts and am going to push to have my essure removed. Being in my 20’s a mother and wife I should not have to live in constant pain. My story may not make a difference alone but if we unite then we stand a chance. To all of you out there dealing with chronic pain and problems due to essure my heart goes out to you.
