6 months after tvta and posterior repair - exercise causing pain

She is a highly recommended surgeon. I've been jumping on a rebounder trampoline and bringing my knees up too high and pressing down too hard as my pelvic floor has swollen up.

I felt fine until recently and it coincides with increasing the intensity of my work outs.

You should never use a trampoline after prolapse surgery.

My prolapse was minor. I wasn't advised against using one when I mentioned it.

Anyway, how do I get this inflammation down please?

Did you ask if you could use a trampoline? The swelling is caused because you used a trampoline!

Agreed there are some things we just can't do anymore. Maybe try an anti inflammatory and ice packs

I know this now. Please advise on reducing inflammation. Ice and rest and ibuprofen are all being deployed but slow recovery. 4 days of little improvement.

Nothing else I can think of to add. Would be a question for your Dr maybe keep feet up for as much as possible.

What kind of surgeon? It's important

Hi. Where abouts is your pain as I have been experiencing pain since returning to work which is aggravated when I do lots of bending forward. My pain is around pubic bone area. My consultant thinks it's inflammation to the muscles around the pubic bone. Been given antibiotics and anti inflammatories but it's not made any difference. It was Nov when I saw him and April when I had my op. I'm back next fri (13th) to see him so not sure what he'll say or do next. Not sure if out pains are same. X

I took anti inflammatories for a month and still no improvement so 4 days is still very early days. Take it easy. X

Mine is generalised around where I had the surgery. I've had it mildly before when I've exercised. I hope you get answers. Mine is just a time thing I think.

Yes. Urogynacologist.

Urogynacologist.

Matron you seem to know quite a bit and are respected on here. Do you think it is just a matter of time before my swelling goes down. It's stressing me out.

I wonder what your GP meant when he said it was a strain? It sounds as though he didn't think you had another prolapse which is good news. I can understand you're worried but without actually seeing it it's difficult for me to say however if it is swelling due to you doing too much then it will settle. If it doesn't you'll need to ask to be re referred to the urogynaecologist again for her advice.

Thank you. It could take a while?

I would hope not. If it's still there in 4 weeks or it hasn't reduced make an appointment with your GP

4 weeks is a while in my terms. Thanks. Am doing my pelvic floor exercises, inuprofen, elevation and ice. Ice is the best which would suggest a sprain. I'm going to scale back my workouts. Lesson learned. X

I think it started the workout before last so I jumped on it again when already inflamed. Thought it was just DOMS.
