What Does It Mean To Experience Sharp Stabbing Pain In Lower Abdomen With Headaches And Nausea?
I have the mirena iud and for about a week now, I have had sharp, stabbing pain in my lower belly, right side. I have also have really light spotting, really dark brown in color. My lower back hurts, I have a headache, and I am light headed. I have also had nausea and been throwing up after almost every meal. I tried to call my ob today, and she can t get me in for at least two weeks. Should I go to the er?

Hi there,I had gone through your query and understand your concern.
Yes,Please visit the ER as Mirena IUD can cause side effects like headache with nausea ,persisting lower abdominal pain or pain int the sides of the abdomen at the earliest.
Nothing to worry.Mirena IUD in about 1 % can cause theses effects like Tubal pregnancy ,Gastritis,severe headaches/Migraines which needs to be reported.Please consult the ER if OBG consultant is not available immediately.
