Can leg pain, especially in the morning, be related to the Mirena IUD?
It's been 3 months since I put Mirena, it's hard to get used to it, there was severe pain, blood, smearing for the whole first month.It's been two months since my legs began to hurt, especially in the morning after sleeping. Could it be related to the Mirena IUD ( I am 52 years old)

I had pain from the merina coil for years!!! I have been going to see physios, sports massage people, neurology doctors, checking my veins in leg etc etc. It was causing me anxiety and depression over the pain in my legs and no one knew why - not even my doctors! they never connected the two even though I mentioned it. I am so angry about it... I knew it was the coil because I had to get it removed for a Lletz procedure and as soon as it came out, my legs started to improve within a few days!! I think it is the synthetic progestin in it - I cannot believe they allow it to be used. I am now on the micronised progesterone which is supposed to be natural.
As soon as I removed the spiral disappeared the pain in my excruciating legs that I had since I put it on !!
I also have very bad legs especially at night it's horrible I can't sleep anymore it's been 1 month ..
I am also experiencing a bad pain in one of my legs since sometimes. It may be related to the same. I have this inserted around 3 months now
My legs also hurt after Miren !! Horrible .
Definitely from her! I have it. I found people with the same symptoms. I will remove it!

Leg pain, especially in the morning after falling asleep, at the age of 52 may be associated with various causes, not necessarily related to the use of the Mirena IUD. However, if severe pain and bleeding, it may indicate some complications or side effects of using this contraceptive.
Mirena is a contraceptive device that releases the hormone levonogenetrel, which can cause various side effects, including leg pain. In addition, hormonal contraception, such as Mirena, may increase the risk of venous thrombosis, the symptom of which is, m.in, leg pain. Other forum users have also reported leg pain as a side effect after putting on Mirena.
I encourage you to consult the gynaecologist who inserted the Mirena IUD again to rule out possible complications or incorrect placement of the IUD. It is also worth visiting your family doctor for an examination and determination of the causes of leg pain. They may order additional tests, such as blood tests, vascular ultrasounds, or joint x-rays, to establish an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
