I thought it was just me!!!!!
I had the Essure proceedure done in april of 2009. I didnt notice issues until 2 years later. It seemed to me that I was always in pain. My stomach just hurt all the time. It felt like I was ovulating. My lower abdomen was tender to the touch. I seemed to have pain at least 3 weeks out of 4. I started a pain journal. I have been worried that I had irritable bowel syndrome, or something much worse. Someone described it best when she said it feels like barbed wire is in my stomach. Since December of 2013, I have progressed to either being in pain or being nauseated all the time. I am grabbing at straws trying to get this resolved. I have no energy and I struggle to get out of bed everyday. 9 I had a suspicion that Essure may have been the root cause. I didnt have any problems prior to the proceedure and my symptoms mirror many other women that have had the proceedure done.
