"i am 25 years old with no kids. i got the paraguard inserted 3 days ago and it has been the worse pain i have ever felt. the procedure only lasted for about 5 minutes so it was quick, however; the after pain has been nonstop. i have not been able to leave my couch for 3 days. i am just rating the insertion process. i feel like the doctor did not prepare me because i had no idea i would have this much pain. this weekend i had a wedding and many family plans that i had to cancel. i am taking 6 ibuprofen a day and when i stand up i feel like someone is stabbing me with a knife. i had a bowel movement and i literally felt like i was going to die. if it doesn&#039;t go away in a week i will have to remove to be able to work."
