I had the Essure procedure done in 2010 and it has completely changed my life. I have constant back pain, a lot on my right side. The pain effects how I walk sometimes because it goes straight into my butt, and about 3 days before my monthly cycle I am in so much pain I am useless.
The pain is like knives stabbing into my uterus, or like my insides are going to fall out of my vagina. Then once my period starts I am in complete pain for the first two days, to the point that I can barely move off the couch.
I wish I would’ve known all these side effects before having it done. I would’ve rather been paying for the pill instead of being miserable like this. I have 2 young kids that I need to be 100% for, and with these coils in me, I’m not 100%.
