I got the Mirena 1 year ago, at age 46, when my youngest child was 13. My doctor did not do anything to dilate my cervix and the insertion hurt very badly. I almost told them to forget it! I have a high threshold for pain and had both my children without any medical intervention, so it is saying a lot to say the Mirena insertion hurt. I decided to get it because of my heavy periods. My periods are much lighter, but last just as long (6+ days). Since May I've had a weird rash on my legs and tailbone. The one on my tailbone looks like a bruise. My shins are mottled and itchy. I've been to numerous doctors and tried many different medications. They have gotten better, but have not cleared up. It seems that my legs are not getting adequate circulation. Also, my belly and area below my navel are bright pink and itchy. I, too, feel bloated and pregnant all the time. Ugh! I experience heart flutters and once ended up in the emergency room because the school nurse, where I work, thought I was having a heart attack. Does anyone else have a rash like I describe? This darn think was so expensive, I hate to have it removed but, if it is causing this rash, I'll have it removed right away!
