My essure was implanted in Aug. 2011. About a year after I started noticing what I call my phantom baby. It is a very large spasm that happens mainly on my right side lower abdomen multiple times daily. I have pinching and piercing pains constantly in my lower abdomen and my lower back. I do not have normal bowel movements anymore. What comes out is normal but my anus is incredibly sore and swollen most of the time as well as I bleed from my rectum frequently. After intercourse with my husband the pinching stabbing pains get worse. My doctor says it all has nothing to do with the essure coils even though I never felt any of this prior and it has only gotten worse over the last 3 years. I want them removed so badly. I am 24 and would do anything to have them removed. A hysterectomy even sounds amazing at this point. I am in so much pain daily.
