I'm very curious to read all these side effects! I have some strange symptoms going on and it only occurred to me after weeks of them that they may be caused by the Mirena IUD. Apart from constant annoying spotting and a bit of a dull ache in the pelvis now and then, I thought I had no other symptoms but I can see that my fuzziness in the head, low grade anxiety and stress that I've been feeling lately may be related. I've also been ravenous and am putting on weight but can't seem to stop eating junk. My energy levels are low and I have body aches and fatigue and find it hard to work out. But has anyone had achy joints in the hands and feet? .....tight tendons in the ankles & archilles and sore bones in the feet.......a feeling like swelling/tightness in the joints in the hands? I thought I was getting arthritis but maybe it's related to the IUD. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I have only had my mirena in for 3 wks - but I am occasionally experiencing pretty severe joint pain - knees, elbows, ankles and wrists - especially. Also I'm having indigestion and bloating almost daily. Good Luck! I have yet to decide if I am keeping Mirena or not?!?!?

Bayer, the manufacturer, talks about this side effect in their pamphlet for the Canadian market: skeletomuscular pain. 0.3 percent of women reported them after three months, and 1.0 percent after 5 years.......
