Hi Ladies
It is so reassuring to read some of these posts and know that this prolapse problem is one that affects so many of us. I am healthy at 48 and had surgery nearly 3 weeks ago, for posterior and anterior prolapse. I felt fine for the first 2 weeks. A couple of days ago, I started experiencing awful pain in my right buttock and rectum, I also have a lot of swelling inside my vagina, which I am hoping is just from everything healing. The pain in my behind and lower back is the worst and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I did start driving after 13 days and think that it may be a contributing factor. I would welcome any advice on this, as I am so worried.

I think that what they say about resting every day (lying down) is very important. I have not been getting enough rest and yesterday I put it to the test. I did very little, slept for two hours in the afternoon and didn't go anywhere, the pain in my bottom was gone. It is very difficult, especially as my youngest is only 7. I am going out for a coffee today but will rest when I get back. I phoned the consultant and he said these pains are to be expected, so at least we know it is normal. It really is early days for you. I feel worse 20 days post op than I did a week ago because I did too much. The driving is the worst!. Do you still have a lot of swelling (inside) I feel like there is something stuck there, so hope that is normal too. Try not to get too despondent, take each day at a time and take the ibuprofen for pain and movicol to avoid constipation. Hx

I am 4 1/2 weeks post op and have suffered with this buttock pain. This really bothered me as very painful and not expected. I still cant sit or put my weight on my bottom and have to sit/sleep to the side. Have spoken to consultant about it and he says it is caused by stitches and that it will go in time but at the moment the ligament and nerves are inflamed. I had a posterior and anterior repair and a sacrospinious fixation. I googled this and found several mentions of this buttock pain. Just wish I had been forewarned about it. Good luck and hope it eases soon.
