I was not told by my doctor about any side effects that essure procedure can cause. The procedure itself was very painful and my doctor didn't give me any pain medication during the procedure. I did essure 5 years ago and since then I have experience nothing but the pain in my pelvic area. Doctor performed laparoscopy thinking it is endometriosis, but after the procedure I was told it was very mild and she was not sure if that was cause of my pain. After that, I saw urologist and did physical therapy on my pelvic, also my urologist did trigger point injections directly to my pelvic, but relief was only temporarily. I am tired of going to doctors and my insurance changed. I cannot afford medical bills trying to find out why I am in such a pain. I am getting painful cramping that is making me lose my breath sometimes. It's painful during the intercourse, my periods are painful, it hurts when I am seating or walking, my legs feel tired all the time, I have bad headaches, feel depressed, etc. I did ultrasounds to eliminate anything else that could go on down there and nothing was found. Also MRI for headaches and everything was normal. I did CAT scans, lot of lab testing, and nothing. Few months ago I start reading about essure and stories of the women that had this procedure done. It was like they were describing me and my pain. The light bulb went on and I realized that all these problems started shortly after I had this procedure done. My doctor never told me about any side effects, except some bleeding after, but that is normal. I feel like I am stuck with this thing in me and feel very discouraged that doctors don't like to admit that that could be a cause of my pain. I am afraid to have hysterectomy, but I am not sure what else to do.
Did anyone else had this essure procedure done and do you experience similar issues?
What about hysterectomy? I am afraid it will mess up my hormones forever....
