I have been going to my GP for around 6 months now for help with intense lower left abdominal pain, excruciating pain during periods, nausea, fatigue and pain when my bladder is full. After a clear ultrasound and CA125 my GP suggested I get a mirena coil as that would stop my periods and reduce my pain... I went to have my coil fitted last Thursday and it was horrendous. I had local anaesthetic in my cervix but the pain was unbearable. I was shaking, sick and felt like I was going to pass out when they tried to dilate my cervix and tried to fit the cool. The mirena wouldn't fit and after 40minutes of trying they fitted the jaydess coil instead. 3 days on I am still in a lot of pain, I also have a sharp stabbing pain in my lower bowel that comes and goes that I didn't have previously. I feel very upset that the GP suggested the mirena saying it would stop my periods and I've ended up with the jaydess which is unlikely to stop periods and isn't licensed to help with pelvic pain!! I didn't want it for contraception so feel the whole procedure was pointless. I'm really not sure what to do now. I'm still in pain daily, pain with going to the toilet, fatigue and nausea, I've put on weight as I've not been able to go to the gym or do any of my hobbies and that's getting me down too. Please can any one advise me what to do next? I really can't go on like this 😢

Increased pain after horrendous coil fitting
Thank you for the reply, I had been considering going private but that is really a last resort. I have recently changed GP practice to a small rural practice and have an appointment with my new GP on Friday, do you have any advise as to what I should say to her?
And I'm sorry to hear about your broken foot! I hope you heal quickly!
Thank you so much for your help, I will print all these off and take to my GP along with a list of symptoms. I haven't actually seen a gynaecologist yet tho. The dr at the sexual health clinic who fitted the coil said my cervix is tilted to the left, all my pain is on the left and the bowel pain also, would that fit in with revtovaginal endo? Thanks again for all your help, my GP appointment is Friday so I will let you know how I get on X
