Hi, I'm fit, tough and extremely healthy. Tried Mirena. Ok for one year then within six months I experienced increasing upper abdominal pain and ultimately the sensation of something bursting central chest and the first of three Emergency Hospital admissions. Bloods clear. Xrays clear. ECG's clear. Endoscope clear (had experienced severe and sudden onset gastroenteritus/IBS acid reflux, extreme food intolerance.) Also had a large cyst needed draining (and multiple smaller) appeared in left breast. Lymph glands in neck up. High histamine, raised albumin, white blood cells relating to allergy/parasite. Allergic reaction/systemic rejection of coil? No uterus pain at all.(Not had period for over a year) So very ill after sixteen weeks being consistently told it wouldn't be the coil I took it out. Hard to describe but an extreme sense of relief, reduction in pain from entire GI tract swelling/sensitivity. QUESTION. One week on huge improvement but I still have continual upper body/chest pain (diaphragm?), and additional pain sharp pain through left ribs to shoulder blade, worse with sudden movement. Anyone had residual/slow to improve nerve damage? Need to be fit for my job. Thank you for reading. PS. Its not a 'coil'. Its a nasty sharp edged piece of plastic.

hi,
i had upper abdo pain, just under my ribs on both sides, felt like a pressure type pain. plus severe heartburn. was constantly told its not mirena. had high esr levels in blood and high protein levels.
i had horrendous joint problems too, and was tested or lupus and arthritis. im now 14 weeks post removal and only suffer very occasionally before a period with heartburn and the upper abdo pain gone, completely like it was never there.

best wishes
