I had the kyleena coil put in on friday almost two weeks ago under general anaesthetic. Procedure went to plan so far as I know. Doctor gave me pain killers for the initial days after the treatment if I needed them. I was tender afterwards but nothing worse than normal period cramps. After about 4-5 days the pain got severe - dizzy spells, nausea, weakness and fatigue. I wasn’t able to urinate for a while. I was Unable to focus or go about my daily life with the pain. I had resisted taking the pain meds because they were supposed to be for the initial few days and I felt that pain after 4-5 days shouldn’t be getting worse. I didn’t want to mask the pain if there was a real problem. The pain has been ok the last few days but today I’m hunched over the toilet feeling like I’m going to be sick. I took the painkillers finally and they haven’t helped. I had phoned my gp about this (not the person who put the coil in) and she basically told me it’s ‘normal’ but I really don’t feel like this is. I’m noticing that the pain gets really bad after eating a meal. I had a heavy carby lunch today around 4 and almost instantly started to get that god awful pain which hasn’t gone away. I am in agony and don’t know if this is expected after coil insertion or if I should be concerned. Any help is very much appreciated

Not normal imo. As you’ve been in severe/significant pain for 2 weeks now I would recommend going into your doctor again or if it’s out of working hours, an out of hours doctor. If it gets worse go to the emergency room

I’d try to see your gyno or urgent care. I got a Mirena and after two weeks the cramping was getting better and less frequent, not worse. And issues with the IUD moving/shifting are most common in the first couple months of getting it. Your doctor should check to make sure it’s still correctly in place.

If it continues go to urgent care/Emergency room to make sure it hasn’t perforated
