Mirena and ear infection

I got the Mirena in August 2008 after having our second child. We thought it was a great idea b/c I wasn't ready for my husband to have a vasectomy in case we ever did change our mind about having more children. Although, we definitely have decided that we won't have anymore. Anyways, I have had spotting ever since and the three months of spotting is a joke because it has been way longer than that! The last two days I have had SEVERE lower back pain through the tops of my legs aching. Reminded me of having back labor it was so terrible. I couldn't sleep at night good because it was awful. I called my doc today and I am having it removed tomorrow. Can't wait!!!! I just wished I had read this website before I had decided on Mirena. And the comment I read about the hurt you experience having it inserted is the darn truth! If I had knew that I wouldn't have gotten it either. Besides that, my doc had to clamp my cervix while trying to insert it...so needless to say it was horrible!!!!!!!

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has had the onset of urinary symptoms since having the Mirena coil fitted, particularly urinary urgency.I would like to know about your experiences and what action you have taken to get help for your urinary symptoms. It would be interesting to know if you can specifically date symptoms to after the coil was fitted and if you have suffered urgency prior to the Mirena.

I am a 27 year old with the Mirena IUD. I've had it since early 2005. I have had very strange symptoms on and off thru out these past years but never thought to link it with the Mirena. Rescenly I have been feeling worse and am hoping it is in fact my IUD and not something more serious. After checking out other blogs feel more confident thait is the cause. I have tingling in my feet and sometimes into my legs as well as in my hands sometimes. It mostly occurs while sitting or lying down though. I also have achy knees and other joints, back pain, headaches, and the list goes on. Please I need as much input as possible and just reassurance that I am not insane. So please tell me your story if it is similar to mine. I have an appt. Wednesday to have it removed and I guess time will tell. Please pray for me!
