HI, there are several women on here who have also lost their strings and had to have it surgically removed. Just read back as far as you can and you will see thier posts eventually. That is probably why you are having so much pain. I am so greatful that did not happen to me!! On my first IUD (not the MIrena), the strings got lost but the doctor somehow fished it out (extremely extremely painful). It took forever but thank God I didnt have to have surgery. I really feel for you!! But just hang in there, it will be out soon OK?
