I had my Mirena inserted in October 2006 after the birth of my second child. The insertion process was extremely painful, especially the first 30 minutes after. The cramps persisted for about three hours, they were so bad that I had to pull-over during my drive home from Kaiser and go straight to bed when arriving home. I can definately relate to a lot of the symptoms mentioned by others. I have joint pain, CRAZY mood swings, skin rashes on my neck, occasional sharp pelvic cramps, breast tenderness but most importantly bad leg cramps & pain. I don't know if another side affect caused by Mirena might be bad circulation. My family already has a history of varicose veins and bad circulation, but I've noticed that I did not have varicose veins before Mirena. Its been almost three years since I got on Mirena and my legs are constantly hurting, cramping, and tingling. This tends to happen even more after a long day of sitting at work and drive home. My thighs are now showing small patches of spider veins & varicose veins on both legs and I'm getting really worried. I began walking about two miles a day about four months ago to improve my circulation and leg pains but nothing seems to work. I don't think my weight is a factor since I'm 5'5 and weight 127 lbs, I've only gained about 5 lbs since I got on Mirena. After reading about others side effects I'm definitely contemplating on getting it removed soon & having my husband fixed. Please let me know if anyone else has had any circulatory problems.....

Just got back from the dr. She said it is definitly caused by Levaquin. The knee pain etc. is from this drug. She said it putme right over the edge after taking it for only one week. Hopefully it will subside. This is a powerful drug that attacks cartilage and joints and should not be used by people prone to arthritic conditions. Anyway, I feel better knowing I don"t have Lyme or anything more serious. GoodLuck to all of you out there, hang in there.Marsh
