"i had mirena put in about a week ago &amp; it by far the most excruciating pain i&#039;ve ever felt! i&#039;m missing some of my left leg due to a motorcycle accident so believe me when i say i know pain, the insertion was worse than any of my surgeries. i had to make my obgyn stop bc the pain &amp; discomfort made me so light headed &amp; sick to my stomach. the pain &amp; cramping for the first 2 days after made it impossible to move &amp; now a week later i still have bad discomfort &amp; spotting. i&#039;ve noticed an increase in appetite &amp; acne on my face that i never had problems with before. i had mirena placed as an option to help my severe bipolar mood swings but i think this may not have been the right option for me. i&#039;m giving it a few more days to change my mind."
