I had a copper iud inserted 1 month ago. i understand cramping is a side effect.i am having extreme stabbing pains left abdomen. is this normal?

Not normal: Severe pain is not normal and should be evaluated. The IUD could perforate the uterus or be incorrectly placed. You could also have another cause of the pain and should see an obgyn soon.
