Post op

I am now 7 weeks post tvt op. I have not being doing too bad but still feel like I can't walk too far my pelvis seems to hurt and I have had a bit of a dropping feeling. I have checked and nothing there think I keep worrying about it. Still get some pain only slight like a period type of pain. I have next week of work so will have being off 8 weeks then going back. The question I am asking is what I'm feeling normal.

I think what you are feeling is normal for 7 weeks post op. Do you feel ready to go back to work? What type of job do you have? You should not do any lifting, stand for long periods or even sit for long periods either. Have you had a post op appt with your consultant or one of his team yet? If you haven't had one yet I think i would ask what advice they have about post op if you don't know. If you go to the top of this page, Genitourinary Prolapse and click it you should get to some posts put on by matron and a few others re post op advice. We all heal at different rates so listen to your body and if it's saying NO, then listen to it! I was told 3-4 months before i feel 'normal' and resume 'normal' activities. Best wishes, x confused

On the Genitourinary home page, look at Useful Resources. Lots of help and info there. rolleyes
