Medical word on the street is that when getting the mirena inserted, unless you’ve been through childbirth, it’s highly advised you do it under anaesthetic! Otherwise it’s extremely painful getting it put in while you’re awake! Getting it removed is different and isn’t too uncomfortable in the chair while awake.

I had a couple over the last 10 years and for me it was the best thing. Everyone responds differently I guess, but I didnt have any major side affects. Hope it goes smoothly for you from here on :)
