"i had skyla inserted last year. i&#039;ve never had a child before, so the insertion process was uncomfortable for me. i took pain medication before hand and was given medication by my doctor to insert into my vagina prior to soften my cervix. i had mild cramping over the next month, and decent amount of bleeding. 

after a month of having the iud, i started to develop severe joint pain and dry, red eye. i followed up with my gyno, and she had me go to a primary care doctor for my symptoms. i had blood work done for a lot of different factors, and everything came back negative. my pcp recommend that i have it removed, i am very glad that i did my joint pain went away within 2 weeks of the iud being removed. my doctor thinks i had an allergy"
