I’m Rachel, when I got the essure done I was 24 years old and I was never told about any side effects as it was ‘NEW’. I was put under so I felt no pain, I went back for my check up and everything was fine. But ever since I have had very heavy periods lasting anywhere from 1-2 weeks, extremely painful cramping to the point of crawling into a ball and crying before my periods would last 3 days and be on a normal time. Now they just come when they come sometimes I will have one then stop for a week then start again the next week. I have lower back pain and random muscle spasms in my abdomen (like a baby kicking) in my legs and my hands shake sometimes. Sometimes I lose feeling on my right side (a numbing sensation from my shoulder to my hip). I get nausea at random and debilitating migraines. I am not sure if these all are due to having this procedure done but I know it’s not normal and it didn’t start until afterwards. I am currently looking into having the essure removed.
