I had Essure almost 3 years ago. Since then I have had strange and sudden stabbing pain in the area of my right ovary. I have also had a constant dull pain in my right upper quadrant. This pain led to me to have my gall bladder removed. Unfortunately, the pain remained. Now the pain in constant and has moved to my back. The pain in my back is like a burning pain under my shoulder blade. I have gained 40 pounds and cannot lose it no matter what I try. My weight will fluctuate up and down about 5 pounds in a day. I also will experience extreme abdominal swelling. I can put a pair of pants on in the morning that are a little big, and as soon as I drink something, the pants become tight. I have had every test known to man, and they cannot find anything wrong with me. I am having a partial hysterectomy next month to get these things out of me. I pray this works.

I felt like I was reading my own symptoms. I literally have every symptom you described. I thought it was my gallbladder too and now I know why this is happening to me. Thank you for sharing your story.
