I’m 26 years old and a mother of 2. I had my procedure done in March 2012. The day I got it done I had excruciating pain. I called my obgyn & told them I was hurting worse than after having my son. They put me on pain medicine. It helped the pain but I was always sleeping from the medication & wasn’t there for my family. Since getting the Essure I have had stabbing pain in my pelvic area. My periods are irregular and painful. I feel like I’m in labor for 2-3 weeks. My periods are heavy & I stay in bed for most of my period. I have non-stop headaches, at times migraine headaches. Severe joint pain and bloating. I was a healthy woman before this Essure. I always had energy and was always positive and happy. I try my hardest to be the old me but when I can’t spend time with my kids and family I just get so depressed. I can’t even work. I pray that this helps other woman. I was not told that this could happen. In fact I was just told that I would have just a little bit of bleeding or spotting and some light discomfort. That some Tylenol could fix. Please be fully informed.
