abnormal uterine bleeding
"The insertion of the iud was painful.  Afterward I experienced cramping & spotting for 2 days.  About a week later I experienced acne.  Luckily I have teens and I use their acne gel.  A few weeks later my right foot and ankle was swollen.  I used ice, elevate my foot and when that didn't work I went to the Doctor.  The X-ray didn't show anything wrong.  My ankle hurt in I small area and it was difficult to walk without limping.  I began reading reviews about iud side effects and sure enough a swollen ankle is a side effect.  I had to purchase an ankle wrap to ease the pain.  I had the iud inserted 3/15 for irregular bleeding due to peri menopause.  I'm going to Try to keep it as long as I can hoping the swelling will completely go away soon"
