2 weeks after surgery,OK after 5days still painful but as a veggee no probs with BM twice a day.I guess I over did it going out trying to lead a normal life now I have a prolapse and I am stuck inside.However I am lucky no real pain now,only discomfort, just fed up and very worried about the future.Any help anyone?
Previously pretty fit with yoga and pilates has helped plus good diet.
Hi Sheila , easy to get downhearted when it comes to this kinda thing , as you can see from the posts here . Keep your chin up cos things will get better . It does take time , and some surgeons will refuse to even speak to their patients for the first 6 weeks after a procedure for just that same reason . I had 6-8 weeks stuck in hospital or at home start of this year but starting to lead a normal life now , despite the fact that they have not fixed me properly . In a few weeks you will look back on it as a low point , but you will get better , trust me .
I would have to agree with the 8 week healing time. My Surgeon told me it takes that long to get back to a semblance of normality (though then info sheets he gave me said 3-4!)
i thought that I'd never get better and whilst still not 100%, I'm a lot better than I was. Weeks 3 - 7 were worse for me. Very little pain, but constantly needing to pass a movement.
hope you feel better soon.
Thank you very much, that is so helpful, if it just takes more time I can handle that,guess you have to tke it easy however frustrating.My surgeon wil not speak to me but am lucky to have a good supportive GP
