I'm 23 years old and had the Mirena put in 6 weeks after our first daughter was born. The first 2 weeks of having it were fine... other than a little struggle implanting it all was going well. Exactly at the 2 week mark I wound up in the ER with what I thought were a bladder infection, hemorrhoids, and swollen lymph nodes in my hip-flexors. Now none of this has been linked to the Mirena, so it could be a fluke, but none of the doctors could figure anything out! My urine sample was clean, my pap was normal, they couldn't find hemorrhoids, and it was a frustrating un-diagnosis. The doc sent me home with pain meds and a local numbing cream, but using the bathroom hurt so bad I had to bite down on a towel to pee! Taking a poop... HA... I've been putting it off for days because I feel like my rectum will tear open! Has anyone else had any of these things? Maybe I'm just ill with a strange disease, but this site has me curious if it isn't the Mirena!

uhmm , I'm very curious about your swollen lymph nodes in my hip-flexors?
What are your synmtonm of that? I have had a swelling in my hip from the day after I had the mirena inserted. Although, it has come and gone when I started my period , but I havent' had a period in 3 months and it will not go away. I had pap smear, blood work, and just got a steriod shot Thrusday and seeing what that will do. Other than that I have been treated with medicine for a pinch nerve!!! and back pain. I went to ER first time also. it's really wierd because i have back pain also, but it's like this swelling will not go away and it's in my muscle sort of????
I have had other numerous side effects too and want mine removed, I have hhad it for a year now and it seems like things seem to increase .

I'm starting to wonder is my problems are related to Mirena. It seems like since I have had it(6 months ago), I have had joint pain, tingling in my back and limbs, itchy eyes, digestive problems that seem to occur on a monthly schedule. I have been tested for auto-immune dieases and everything is normal. I have Hashimoto's but my thyroid levels are normal. The only thing I can think of is that I got Mirena around the same time I started feeling this way. Anyone else having this problem?

Did you ever get it taken out? I had the SAME thing happen to me! And then they discovered the Mirena perforated my uterus. Lovely huh? Just wondering your outcome on everything!? So frustrating!!!
