I had my iud for a month and then all of a sudden one night i noticed a horrible pain in my left leg that i couldnt get to go away.I laid on the floor and elevated my leg with no relief. I tried to get up off the floor so that my husband could take me to the er, i then realized that i couldnt walk, i was having blurred vision, numbness in my left arm, slurred speech. My husband took me to the er and they did an ekg, ct scan, x-ray, mri of my entire body during my day 2 day admittance to the hospital. They found nothing wrong with me, i still continued to have leg pain, inability to sleep at night and was forced to take motrin to help me fall asleep. I had another episode two weeks later that cause the same symtoms along with a really bad panic attack, this time the ambulance was called and they took me to the hospital and the drs said noting could be found to be wrong with me. Well i then decided to have it taken out and here i am almost three months later symtom free. I dont reccomend mirena to anyone. I truly felt like i was having a stroke with all the symptoms the two have in common.

Hi, Ive had an IUD for about 6 months now, and my left leg has been killing me, Ive fallen up stairs, its like the normal sensations are out of whack during that time of the month. This month however, its kicking my a** Ive been debating on going to ER myself, but without insureance, Im going to try and wait it out till monday. I cant seem to find anything that puts the two things together, your post is the first. Thanks for writing about it, atleast I know Im not crazy!
