What Could Cause Tingling In The Vagina And Sciatica Like Pain In Left Leg After Undergoing Coil Insertion?
I have a curved uterus and had trouble having my coil fitted last Tuesday, the Dr was heavily pushing with a curved metal rod, then all of a sudden it inserted sharply, while I was in the usual position for the procedure I jumped in the air because of the pain- it felt like the metal rod had gone through my rectum! I was uncomfortable after the procedure and found that when I urinated I had a tingling pond &!needlea sensation on the left side of my vagina, also I now have a pain like siatica down my left leg to just above my knee. Could I have siatic nerve damage - how long will it last should I go to my GP?

HI,
IUD insertion with retroverted/deviated uterus is a bit difficult procedure,still it's managed well by an experienced doctor.
The pain you are having is mostly due to the difficult IUD insertion. Over handling , has given rise to the tingling sensation while urinating.
Again your stressed /awkward position,sudden jumping after insertion has muscular stress/stretch to the nerve . This has given rise to the pain above knee.
You can very well get check ed by your doctor,who has under taken the procedure/ an expert gynecologist. Don't worry, if you don't have any other complaint.
A course of NSAID pills along with vitamin B12 twice a day with food should control the symptoms.
Thanks
