I had my IUD taken out prematurely about 18 months ago after something went wrong with it. I was suffering from extreme pelvic pains, back pains, headaches, etc. It was actually my second IUD. I had had no problems with the first. I think the second one wasn't inserted properly and caused aggravation of the surrounding tissue. Everything became inflamed and life wasn't a lot of fun anymore.
It's been almost two years but I'm still having a hard time staying in the aero position on my bike. Getting off the bike and trying to straighten is unimaginably painful. I have problems with my psoas and my hip flexors. None of these problems existed prior to the second IUD even though I trained a lot more, had a lot less experience (ie, did very stupid things like not stretch, or not cool down.) My workouts are more balanced and sensible now, I do yoga, take baths after workouts, go to the chiropractor, get ART massages. Muscle relaxants are a temporary solution.
Has anyone else experienced this? Honestly, I have no idea what else I can do. Nothing works. I tried not biking for a few months. That just about killed me - I live for my bike rides - and it didn't make a difference.
I'm not knocking IUDs. I really wish I could go back - I think I was just the one in a million person who got stuck with an inexperienced doctor who didn't know much about inserting these.
