Hello,
There are several possibilities in the situation you have described. Firstly, the doctor who performed the examination earlier may have missed identifying the IUD and/or a sonogram or pelvic scan was not done. A scan would have definitely located the Copper T. Secondly, the IUD may have been displaced from its original position and hence was not identified. The pain in your hips and back may be unrelated and is probably related to your age. Please ask your doctors and get it removed. Usually, there will not be any problem, so do not worry. Take care.
