After I had my second child in Oct. 09 I decided to get the Mirana. The thought of no period, lighter periods, and not having to purchase feminine products every month was a big +. I started experiencing back pain sometime in December. I delt with it up till April till I could'nt go no more. I would be in tears cause it hurt so bad. In April my DR ordered a back X-ray & of course it came back normal. I knew something was not right and started paying more attention to the pain. I noticed it was comming from my lower mid section. I have had a c-section with both of my children so I thought it may have something to do with that. I decided to give my OB/GYN a shot to see if he could see what the problem was. After doing a u/s he discovered I had a cyst on my left ovary that I would later have removed (May 2010) at 6 cm along with the Mirana. I had later learned that it didnt help with cysts. Month after month the cyst would come back. I would deal with it and if it got bad I would go see him. In Nov. 2010 I started experiencing this throbbing sometimes stabbing pain through my abdominal/pelvic area. Sometimes its intense, continuous, off & on, achy, but overall its uncomfortable & it hurts. I also get these dull aches/bloating feel down through my vaginia walls. It hurts me to have sex. My back hurts, im moody 24/7, irritable, ect. I started the Nueva Ring in Decemeber to help with these cyst. Christmas Eve I go to the ER where they inform me im constipated. After trying fiber tablets, 2 enamas, & constipation powder I was NOT constipated. A week later I was back in the ER intense back pain where they told me I had Renal Collic. A week later I follow up with my primary DR cause the pain meds they gave me was not touchin the pain. He refers me to a gastro DR. Seen gastro DR in Jan. 7, 2011. He tells me he does believe that im a little constipated but thinks there is something more wrong with my back than my stomach. Im FURIOUS by this point. I started to trace back and I hurt more before, during and after my periods. Jan. 31st I start spotting BLACK! Feb. 8 I cannot deal with this NO MORE! There SOMETHING wrong for me to hurt like this 24/7. I go to my OB/GYN office where he does an u/s and informs me that my ovaries and pelvic look normal and if I had Endometriosis then I would have basically came off the table in pain during my physical exam. My ob/gyn would not give me NOTHING for pain. By this point im furious. I call my family DR tell him what had happen. He ends up seeing me an hour later giving me back patches & an anti-inflammatory pill as well as scheduling an MRI. I go to get the MRI done and because I have my eyeliner tattoed on (something to do with the metals in the ink??) It burned my eyes uncontrollably so they were unable to do it. I call my DR when I leave & inform him the back patches works wonders but the anti-inflamatory pill is not touching the pain in my mid section. He then perscribes me Neurontin. I have been on Neurontin for a week now and I have not had no back pain what so ever. However my abdominal/pelvic area is STILL in pain. I started spotting black Jan. 31...Feb. 15 I quit spotting. Feb. 17th I started spotting red. Today (feb. 23) it has turned a brownish red. Im going on a FULL MONTH of SPOTTING along with my 4th month in constant pain. PLEASE HELP???????????
