I had filshie clips placed in 2017, a decision unilaterally made by my dr that i did not consent to clips being left in my body. I began having severe abdominal and pelvic pain. The pain was especially severe on my right tube. It felt like a sword through my pelvis when i was active longer than an hour. The pain radiated down my right leg. I had scans show that my left clip had lodged into my spleen. I just underwent an operation to remove the clips, and the one on my spleen is too deep into the organ to remove without injury to the spleen. I have to choose between living without a spleen or living with a foreign body lodged in my spleen which causes pain and anxiety. The clip on my right tube was hanging on by a thread and dangling around my tube / uterus / ovary, no wonder i had so much pain every day. The dr was able to remove the right clip and the right side pelvic and leg pain has resolved 100%. I had a number of drs tell me the clip was not the cause of my pain, and now that it's gone i know for a fact it was caused by the clip. I still feel the clip in my spleen but am not ready to live without a spleen and the life threatening risks and complications from that. These should not be placed in women, every dr i saw acknowledges the extremely high rate of migration, it's a known fact. How can you allow such treatment of women? Fda safety report id# (b)(4).
