me too, my whole body is in agony, i`ve had scans, xrays the lot, now have really bad pains in my left calf, unable to put any weight on my leg,so i`m now using crutches, i am also like u say, living an nightmare trying to see to my 2 year old son on a daily basis, and yes i am going to get my coil removed after discovering the side effects on this site, like u, i also wish i`d visited earlier, please let me know how u feel after u have it removed..goodluck!
