Does Mirena Insertion Cause Painful Knuckles, Tiredness And Morning Sickness?
I have had the mirena fitted in december for treating heavy periods. This has reduced the flow but not the length of time. In the last few months I have had painful knuckles in the mornings, tired, unpleasant taste and morning sickness around the time of my period. I feel like having the mirena removed? 44yrs 5'6

Hi,
While mood swings, tiredness are known side effects of Mirena contraceptive. Pain in knuckles is not an observed effect. It can be arthralgia and needs to be treated specifically.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
