Brief Answer:
Not related to Mirena removal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The aching of legs on takig wine may not be related to removal of Mirena IUD. This can happen due to mild electrolyte disturbance like low levels of magnesium. Increase your intake of electrolyte rich fluids and see if it helps.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
