Anyone have severe Nerve pain right buttock/Spotty Bleeding after Prolaspe Surgery

Hi Everyone,

I have had /Rectocele/Cystocele/Vaginal prolapse Surgery/perineplasty/one side labiaplasty.

I am 12 days post surgery, I have had a few bumps in the road. Came home with a catheter in place, hated that idea at first until I realized by day 2 I could barely stand by the bed. Called the doctor they said to remove cath by 3rd day or come in to remove it. I Removed the cath on a Wed at 1:00 pm, pee'd 3 hours later then after that could only pee drops at a time. Called doctor at 4 am the following morning in severe pain was told to go to ER or come to office. My bladder was in distress with 1 liter of urine that needed out so they drained my bladder and recathed on 3rd day. I was severely swollen still so no passing of urine. AS of today, I still have cath as I could not pass the Trial and Void where they fill your bladder. But they only gave me 25 mins to do so and I have read online it can take up to 3 hours for your bladder to function on its on. Has anyone else had to have catheter for more than a week? If so what did you do to make your bladder work and how long??

I am on Antibiotics for UTI as that comes with a cath being in so long but I did have alot done. I just worry what if I can't pee again? I go back in 3 days again. Luckily BM's are normal, I learned a breathing technique online that helps inhaling and exhaling to help. Colace and Milk of Magnesia have been a daily routine.

I have had a bit more energy as of day 10. I still cannot sit on my right buttock, there is a sharp shooting nerve pain that will light you up and make you gasp for air. Doctor already mentioned cutting a stich from my vaginal vault??? After all of this pain, why would I do that already???

I am walking around my house a few times a day to build my strength, but wind up right back in my bed.

Also did anyone notice an odor around day 12 with light bleeding? I wonder if it could be my stiches dissolving?? As many have said, this is a surgery I was not prepared for. Thank goodness for my bed and time off from work. I only have 6 weeks off and can not imagine even going back then. The doctor said at the 6 week check up we need to reevaluate a slower healing time and more time off. Doctors make it seem like this is a quick little surgery and would be back to work in no time?? Thanks in advance for your responses, it takes a village.
