"I just had the Mirena IUD inserted yesterday. Even though it's been a short time I wanted to give some information that I found lacking on the internet to new users. Insertion was painful but bearable. I was crampy for about an hour afterwards but after about an hour the most unrelenting cramps started and I was in so much pain I was sweating and had palpitations. I took 800 mg ibuprofen before getting it inserted and took another 800 mg after and got no relief. I used a heating pad and also got no relief. Two doses of 50 mg tramadol later (roughly 8 hrs after getting it inserted) the cramps disappeared and I have only had very mild twinges a couple of times today. Don't worry that you'll be in pain forever; you won't! It passes quickly."
