I had the Essure procedure done in November 2007. Since then I’ve had many issues: headaches, nausea, sharp pain on my left side and sometimes on my right, I’ve also had weight gain, heavy bleeding and weakness. I complained to my doctor, who did the procedure a few weeks after of all the symptoms I was having and he said it was ‘phantom pain’ and that ‘no one else had these problems’. He stated that it was ‘in my head’. I’ve been dealing with these issues since then and no doctor seems to care enough to take another look at Essure. It’s as if every Doctor is protecting the manufacturer. I have looked into having then removed, but I can not afford to do so. I’m very concerned about my health and the health of others who have Essure inside of them.
