I had my Mirena inserted in June 2009 and a few days ago and I started to feel numbness and tingling in my right arm,hand and fingers. Then it spread to my left arm, right side of my face and right leg and both feet. I called the OB/GYN to see if this was a side effect and they told me no. I am otherwise healthy and I even ended up going to the ER 2 days ago because the numbness was so bad. None of the docs said it was from the IUD. They ran all kinds of blood tests and an EKG which all came back normal. I went to the OB/GYN yesterday and had them remove the Mirena!! The OB/GYN thought I was nuts and said that my symptoms had NOTHING to do with the IUD...whatever!! I am so glad it's out and now I hope the numbness and tingling stops soon.
