Copper iud (paragard)

Madison

Does anyone have the copper IUD and end up with horrible pains for over a year? i haven’t gone back for a check up and i’m too scared to feel for the string 😐 it’s only during my periods but it sends pain into my hips and legs. my cramps went from dull to intense stabbing at times i have to just ball up on the floor. waiting for insurance cards to go back to the doctor now that i’m caring about my health so 🤣 just want some input. i always figured it’s a foreign object so it’s gonna hurt but i’m debating on hormonal birth control if this is normal 🌝
