Hi.Post op 6wks now for a/p prolapse. Really fed up and depressed with it all today! ! Walked couple days ago and as i got out of car felt like everything hanging out and dragging. Obviously only a sensation as it wasn't. Sitting is just not comfy. I try for a while. Bought a ring to try sitting on. Useless. I lie down for comfort a lot. I have been told no follow up appointment either. Had infection at 3wks that is now cleared up. Anyone else still struggling.
Many thanks. Jill

My doc said that at certain points where it is attached is where I'm having the pain. He said something about scar tissue. I don't know...

Yes I think it is the mesh area that gives me most problems. My surgeon said it was because it is close to the nerves and so I'll continue to get nerve pain for a few week

I was told not to use a ring as it would actually not give that part any support - sort of like allowing gravity to work too much. Because you've had an infection it's probably delayed your progress. Did they tell you to use cold packs? It helped me some, also to sit in a bath with epsom salt in the water.
I cancelled my third post-op - my healing may be slower than most - had the mesh put in to repair the rectocele, which is causing pain. (I think the doc may have mis-measured me ?) So... I can sit and "scoot" without pain now. But I'm 6 months out and still no intercourse. I've just ordered a vaginal dilator and am hoping on my own that I can make it work. I don't want to discourage you - hang in there - at 3 months you'll probably be a lot better!

I think the brown is because the bleeding is leveling off. I remember having my periods - it would go from bright red to brownish before it stopped. My bleeding post-surgery (with mesh) took about 5-6 weeks.
