"although i have only had mirena for 4 days i would like to state that my healing experience wasn&#039;t bad at all. i took 1 ibuprofen the night before and day of the procedure then 2 ibuprofens before i left for the procedure. yes getting it in did hurt a bit but not the worst pain of my life. also, i went back to working out the following day with no cramps or anything. i am 20 and i have never had a baby and the experience really wasn&#039;t bad at all. just a little bit of cramping during and after the procedure then i was cramp free.
