Can Rectal Prolapse rectopexy surgery cause lower back pain and pulling pain on BM?

I am one week post operation for abdominal rectal prolapse surgery, using mesh, done using arthroscopic surgery.

I am having extremely bad lower back pain. Is this low back ache normal for recovery and, if so, how long will it last? I also feel like I can not bear down at all to have a bowel movement. If I try to use the bathroom and push even a little, it hurts so badly and feels like the stitches inside my body are pulling and it scares me to push at all.

Is all this normal for a week after this surgery? Much appreciate to all who reply.

    I would call your doctor as soon as possible. It could be a sign of infection. Don't mess around with this.
