I think that quite a lot of digging around was done by a very good team of consultants, and of course there is post-op pain, most of which had settled with me quite well. I am now in very bad pain and had to leave work early by taxi. Taken all painkillers I can and can't concentrate. As for reaching the coil - can't feel for any strings at all and had a good try!!!<BR/><BR/>Any further suggestions? To be honest there is no way I can live with this level of pain for more than a few days so no chance of me waiting 6 months. My back is in agony as well and I feel awful. Sounds like I had better contact my surgeon or my GP....<BR/><BR/>Thanks,Isobel https://www.blogger.com/profile/03735584435347282265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969628062201218917.post-49725327004042308032007-09-17T07:19:00.000-07:002007-09-17T07:19:00.000-07:00I am a gynaecology ward Sister and can assure you ...I am a gynaecology ward Sister and can assure you the most likely cause of discomfort is the Mirena IUCD settling down. This can take up to 6 months from time of insertion untill women feel its full benefits, therefore an irregular bleeding pattern accompnied by pelvic and back discomfort is common. Check you can feel the strings of the coil to reassure you it is in the right place. Depending on how much you were examined laparoscopically will determine your recovery and it is not unknown for some woemn to still feel sore/bruised a few weeks post op.
