Brief Answer: Highly unlikely to be due to mirena. Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. It is highly unlikely to have sciatica like symptoms and nerve spasms due to mirena. However to confirm I will advise you to get a sonography of your uterus done to see that your mirena is in place as if it gets displaced outside your uterus then pain can occur. I will also advice you to get an MRI of your lower spine as that seems to be a more likely cause of your pain. Feel free to consult me directly http://bit.ly/drsombiswas Regards Dr. Som Biswas M.D. Mumbai
