filshie clip removal
I am 30 yrs old, a mother of 3; ages 10, 3, and 18 months. Six weeks after the birth of my third child I had a bilateral tubal occlusion with filshie clips done. This was April of '09. I started having pain immediately following the surgery. It felt like my ovaries were going to burst all the time and that my tubes were being squeezed. I had the filshie clips removed 10 days ago and in less than 24 hours I noticed a big difference. I think my body was trying to fight the clips. For the last 10 months or so I have been waking up with my whole body in pain. It got worse and worse. It was getting to be a struggle to get out of bed every day because of the achiness. EVERY DAY I felt like I had been hit by a bus the day before. My legs hurt, joints ached, and just felt terrible in general. I also run about 4 miles a day. I thought the achiness was either from running or just getting older. Well the day after my surgery I woke up feeling perfectly fine. It never even crossed my mind until then that those clips were causing my body to hurt. As I said, I am ten days post op and have not felt the slightest bit achy since. How weird is that? Has anyone had any similar experiences with filshie clips? Also, the doctor had to burn my tubes when he removed the clips to prevent bleeding. I am wondering what are the chances that my tubes will heal themselves and I could get pregnant again?

We have had women in our support group say they have been able to get insurance to cover removing the clips. However if you are experiencing PTLS and all of the horrifying symptoms then you won't get much relief until your tubes are repaired. Some insurances do cover "fertility" treatments and will cover up to $10,000 in assistance which would cover the cost of a reversal. I do hope that gives you some hope! Please join us on facebook support groups to learn all that you can. If you are going to try for a reversal then you will need as much information possible to "go against" the dr.'s beliefs. They will not admit these clips cause pain nor that PTLS is real. You will have to be ready to fight.
