Brief Answer:
Mirena should be removed
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
SAH and high blood pressure are not due to Mirena.
However, continuous spotting, backache and lower abdomen cramps are due to Mirena.
In my opinion, Mirena should be removed if it is causing such discomfort.
If the heavy bleeding returns, then you can go for medical treatment or hysterectomy, if not treated medically.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
