I had the mirena coil fitted 6-7 weeks ago
I had taken lots of pain killers beforehand, and I have quite a high pain threshold so I knew I had nothing to worry about, plus I knew from other people having it, there wasnt much pain in having it fitted.
However this wasn't the case! I screamed the clinic down!! I felt like I was going to collapse from the pain, It felt like I was having my lady parts ripped apart! Then the doctor said she hadn't even put it in yet! & that's when everything went very blurry and I nearly passed out.

Almost immediatly I was having pains on my right side, especially in my right thigh. It felt like a nerve had been hit or something.

Anyway, I suffered cramping pains but it always seemed to be my right side. I knew this cramping was to be expected so I just kept taking painkillers and tried to ignore it.

For the past two weeks I have suffered crippling pain that wakes me up in the night (again always on the right side). It begins with a dull ache and then it feels like I've pulled a muscle as the pain quickly becomes really intense then has died down 30 seconds or so later.

So I had had enough today, as I've spent the past two days in bed unable to move with the pain. I rang up NHS direct & they suggested an infection. I rang the clinic when it opened and managed to speak to a doctor there & she told me it was normal to experiance this level of pain. So I was confused by the two opinions and asked my mum who is a nurse & she knew how much pain I had been in I live with her at the moment.

She suggested it could be a bit of post traumatic stress. Could this be the problem? Has anyone else had or heard of anything like this? It feels silly that this should be the answer afterall I only had the coil fitted but admittedly it was the worst pain I have ever felt & I am dreading having it removed
