Hello josenaki
Your symptoms could be because of 2 reasons.First, you may have contracted some infection due the insert and the swollen painful joints could be a condition called "Reactive Arthritis".Secondly,as Merina is a hormone containing device,the hormonal disturbance caused by it ,can lead to the onset of an Auto immune disease called "Rheumatoid Arthritis".
In any case it seems you are having some sort of Arthritis.consult a Rheumatologist nearby.

welcome to healthcaremagic
your condition may not be due to the coil
consult physician and get tests done to know the cause and get a gynecological examination also
hope you will be all right soon
