Weird symptoms post-coil fitting

I had a Mirena coil fitted three weeks ago.

Have been bleeding continually since (not too worried about this, they said that may happen) but feeling a bit weird today.

Am having sharp pain in my pelvis area and the area directly under my c-section scar (nothing to do with that, just easiest way to explain the location) but all feels very internal, if that makes sense? Also getting a dragging feeling.

My abdomen has also gone rock solid, almost feels like there's a ball in there. Only noticed this tonight, I put my hand on my tummy and it is NOT usually hard. Admittedly the hardness is under the layer of baby flab, but it's definitely hard.

Clearly will go to the GP tomorrow, but wondered if anyone else had experienced this?! Am freaking myself out with Dr Google!

All was fine and dandy pre-coil, so I'm blaming that (possibly wrongly!)

I had terrible trouble when I had a coil fitted, I was in agony with stomach & pelvic pain was off work for a week, bleeding was terrible every month & having to change bedding. Had loads of investigations at hospital. Nothing found just ended up having it removed, which was more agony & felt like my insides were being ripped out.

Oh, the bleeding is. Owhere near that - it's just like a constant period bleed. That's copable with.

It's more the hard lower abdomen I'm freaking about to be honest. It's so strange!
