I went to the doctor today! I told her what was wrong (highlighted in my last post) and she looked at it. She talked about pulling it out and giving me a shot every 3 months instead. She actually looked at me, started to get ready to take it out, and stopped. I guess what she saw and by how I said it hurt she realized it was infected like I thought.
She said not to worry- it doesn't look bad and it explains my cramps. It was most likely irritated and got infected when the other doctor pushed it back into place.
I will be on medication for two weeks and then see go back in in another two weeks. If I'm still hurting she would like to revisit the pulling it out and trying the shots.
I guess, just be sure to stay clean! Wash all hands before touching, keep partners clean and self clean, and be sure to talk to your doctors! I've been 1+ month with the pain and infection with nothing to be worried about now that she has seen it.
Also, while there she let me know removal is easy but not to do it yourself in case something goes wrong. So please remember that! (:
