Yesterday was the first time I didn't feel that I still had something therefrom my front prolapse repair 3 weeks ago, success I thought, I went shopping with my husband (carer as he's now known), he did the shopping and pushed the trolley, I just went along for the ride really. Still feeling pretty positive I was more active than I have been previously and boy did I know about it last night and again today. I didn't do anything that I shouldn't apart from be on my feet more. Still positive today about my front prolapse but the back prolapse is chronic, sitting in the garden chair with cushions is impossible, so taking it really easy again today but doesn't seem to be helping with the discomfort. Shed a little tear today
Hi hun,I'm 20 days post op anterior repair and I'm the same.when I walk I feel like I'm going to fall out!!
Feels like I got as tampon in wrong.I cash feel stitches way down by entrance. It makes
!me feel like I did when I had the prolapse... Is that the same for you?xx
It was until yesterday then the feeling of having something there went and fortunately still the same today. Now it is just very uncomfortable to sit down, feels more like bruising now, I know what you mean about the tampon. I can't take anti inflammatory tablets so still on paracetamol, which don't seem to be helping much at the minute. Xx
Hi I have had the same op as you, I am not normally emotional but boy I have been these last few days, I can feel the stiches back and front.
i am still bleeding were the stiches are pricking me, everything seams heavey.
i think it is suck it and see as there doesn't apear to be any real answers as everyone is so different.
have your stiches started to come out chic, they are so uncomfatuble don't you think?
i to carnet sit for long periods of time.
Hi, I have gone back on codeine and that seems to help but Arnica tablets may help x
The rectocele (back repair) will be the most painful, it always is so despite you feeling well enough to go out your body is now telling you it was just a bit too much too soon. But how were you to know? You couldn't and that's the problem with this surgery it totally knocks you for six. Remember you've had 2 major operations (particularly the rectocele repair which is more involved) so for the next couple of days you are going to have to rest, completely.
Hi Gillian, it certainly does take its toll. How long post op are you? I stopped bleeding at about 2 weeks but occasionally get a slight pinkish tinge on the paper after going to the toilet but only a small amount, I just feel so helpless, husband is amazing but I'm not used to sitting around and letting him do everything. Certainly does feel heavy, haven't seen any stitches that I'm aware of but sometimes feels a bit tight and itchy
Will need to check with my renal Dr's as I'm limited with medication as I've had a kidney transplant too. I'm seeing him tomorrow as I'll mention it, thanks
Is the back wall more of a surgery then matron? Do they booth take the same length of time tyo fix?xx
The rectocele repair is the bowel and a bit more complicated and because it's the bowel there are more nerve endings so it's more painful. The bowel is a large organ as well. I had very little pain from my cystocele repair only from the rectocele repair.
Oh bless you hun..😘😘
I'm 24 days post op from rectocele, I know how you feel I did a bit to much standing and walking yesterday and I'm suffering for it today I can definitely understand what you mean by the tampon feeling. So i had a feel down there and my stitches seem to be quite low down also. I went a bit squeamish after I felt them though. I'v been talking it easy today iv had some ibrouphophen and have only got up to make my self and the kids a sandwich and a drink. Just rest and take it easy and I'm sure matron will be on later with some good advice. Big hugs.xxx
That makes sense.did yuou have the feeling if a stuck tampon in the entrance matron ? Did you have stitches or mesh matronxx
Hope we feel better soon x
Me too!!! Hugs😘
Hi, I am 19 days pist op, the healing takes its time I think and when you feel somthing different over the days it makes you think omg what is it, the matron as been very kind to me and picked up on any questions I have had.
i feel like I have brushing on the underneath right hand side.
you have had it rough girl, when did you have the transplant if you don't mind me asking ?
Thank you matron, I have a hospital appointment tomorrow morning so rest will need to wait until I return.
Do you think I should put it back for a week.
I had stitches, but I had a porcine mesh used as well which after a year when all the tissues around it healed it dissolved x
No you must go to your hospital appointment, that's important but just take things easy and rest with your feet up x
Matron did you get my message about HRT, would you know when I can start it again?
