6 months after tvta and posterior repair - exercise causing pain
Posted , 6 users are following.
I had my op in July last year. No exercise for 6 weeks then gradually reintroduced it. Recently thought was ok to up intensity as way past 12 weeks post op. Now in pain and had swelling for 8 days. Phoned hospital who said go to GP who said was strain - examined and checked for re prolapse. Has anyone else had this happen? How long until it goes away? Any tips? Am only 39 with 2 small kids.

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.

My prolapse was minor. I wasn't advised against using one when I mentioned it.
Anyway, how do I get this inflammation down please?

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

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

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.

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.

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
