I had the exact same experience that you had with your doctor. I was never told that you are suppsed to check the stings every week. I also never recieved any pamphlets or any information on the side effects of the Mirena. I have had mine for almost three years and I am at the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I have had two children and I am not even close to the weight that I was before either preganancies. My symptoms are a lot like yours, but I also have bad headaches that happen nearly everyday and I feel dizzy, like I am about to faint. I don't know if anyone else has bad leg cramping and pain, but it would be reassuring to hear that someone else has this same symptom. I had my Mirena removed last week after I had to go a few rounds with my doctor. She was totally shocked when I said that I wanted her to remove it. She looked me right in the eyes and said that none of my problems had anything to do with the Mirena. I am so much happier now that it is out.
