I had an mirena iud place in 2/7/06 and
ever since I have had unusual cramping
that starts in my stomach and goes to my
knee and almost prevents me from putting
any pressure on that leg. This happens
often but not every day and I dont have
any health insurance at this time nor can
I offord to go in. I would just like to
know if this is a side effect or if it
sounds serious. Thank you for your
time.

Sounds like it could be pressing on a
nerve, i'd say it sounds like it
definately needs looking at.

I wanted to mention that that kind of
cramping 'pattern' has happened to me, and
you are not usual.. No freaking out just
yet! Mnestrual cramps have a funny way of
hurting into our legs..
Planned parenthood would see you, no
insurance needed, and it is way way
cheaper than a private doc.

I also get cramping quite often and I am
always worried of infection. But what
puts me at ease is the fact that they
occur once a month and then tend to
subside. So I am assuming it is related
to ovulation. I go for my annual in a few
weeks so we will find out.

I had my mirena inserted in January, I had
really bad cramping the first day, but
fine after that. Every once in a while i
get a little pain in my stomach, it will
last anywhere from 1/2 hour -2 hours but
it is not sever enough to go down my leg.
I just went for my 6 week check-up to make
sure that it is still in place and the doc
said everything is fine. She says that
sometimes you will get cramps. But maybe
your iud has moved a bit. If the pain gets
worse I would go to a clinic. I am not
sure what the medicare is like in the US,
I am from canada and it is different here.

Amiebugs.......where did you have the iud
put in? I only ask because you said you
didn't have health insurance so I was
assuming maybe a planned parenthood?? If
you don't have health insurance you should
check out your local planned p. hood and
you can be seen for a minimal fee/donation
if not for free.
