Did anyone's experience with Mirena improve?

Hi,

Apologies if you saw my thread yesterday about the Mirena coil, but this one is different. I got it in yesterday and found the fitting very painful. I'm still in pain (cramp pain), can't bend down to pick something up, can only sit/lie in a certain way etc. The bigger issue is actually the mental one; I feel like I've been invaded upon (the doctor and nurse were really nice but I've found it triggering re abuse). I can't stop thinking about it, watching tv/ reading etc won't take my mind off it and I'm literally gritting my teeth at times (because it's driving my mind mad). I've only got light bleeding luckily but I can't bear the thought of checking the strings or having anything physical happening (intimately or medically). I was going to wait until Monday before contacting a doctor because I thought if my cervix was swollen from insertion, removal may hurt and I can't face that right now. However, I wanted to know if anyone else had these symptoms in the beginning but they died down and it turned out fine? Also, is it normal to feel it inside your cervix (not with your hand but just knowing exactly where it is inside)? Sorry for so many questions but I feel like I'm losing my mind. Sad

mine hurt like fuck for a few days and then settled down. did you not realise there’d be cramping afterwards?

@ekinsu I don't mind the cramping, yes I knew there'd be some but it's the unexpected mental impact that's surprising me, as well as the ability to bend over to pick things up etc.

I was very unpleasantly surprised by how painful it was afterwards but once I thought about it I was a bit "durrr, what did you think it would be like?" And took co codamol. Was ok after couple of days
Hang in there. Hot water bottle and all the drugs

I had bad cramps and it felt weird for a few days
Now on my third copper coil and I don't have a clue it's there unless I check the strings
