Hi ... I've been reading through  Some of these discussions and I must say I'm happier knowing my worrying is normal ... I had posterior/ anterior  vaginal repair and vaginal hysterectomy 4 wks  ago  and I thought I was going nuts .. Aches and pains and tiredness seems quite normal after this op ... I was thinking of going back to work this week but my body doesn't feel ready.. I've been worried all day because stupidly I felt just inside my vagina and it feels worse than before op ..but realise it's obviously the swelling .. So pleased to know I'm not on my own ...

      Sorry to hear you had problems with infection 3 wks in... iv been lucky not getting an infection but I think it's got to be normal the pain and discomfort we are feeling I was 4 wks in friday and I also struggle walking to far .. my stomach is swollen because my hubby's food was to damn tasty but I'm back on a more healthy eating plan now lol... I think for peace of mind you should visit your doc and see what he/she thinks .... its not comfortable but I hope you get some answers off the doc x
