Heavy feeling perenium and inside

Hi Carol,

I am now 16 months post op for A&P repair.

I still have too watch how long I'm on my feet and his much I lift.

I still get quite sore if I overdo things around front of pelvic floor and around the perineum area.

When I have a bysy heavy shift at work my bladder can feel irritated and perineum can feel like it's starting to sag and if I sit down in evening the ligaments in that area must stiffen up and it gets so nippy and the nerve ending can be painful.

As long as I have some control over how much I do I am fine and while my work have now stopped putting me on my feet for long periods of time and I now mainly get a seat at the checkout it is the weight issue that I have to constantly watch. On a busy day I'm constantly pushing through smaller cases of soft drinks, beer, larger milk cartons, bags of potatoes and while I manage to avoid the heavier things ( such as larger cases of beer, soft drinks, cat litter and garden soil which I can scan with hand scanner if they leave in their trolley, it still does eventually start to ache.

I think this aching is due to the posterior repair as I did not experience this with the previous surgery which was hysterectomy and anterior repair. I think having both A&P this time I was done very tight and took ages to loosen off and resettle, and having went back to work too quickly at 3 months post op this time and they had me covering my full shift on my feet within a few months didn't help.

I think that each time we get a repair it's always weaker than the one before so always have to be careful.

Hope thinks get better for you,

Take care phyl x

Hi Carole I had my op also 9 months ago and agree if I do too much my body lets me know with a pain that is like sitting on a wire fence. Interestingly its when I lie down at night that I feel it.  I work for  a charity shop so boxes are lifted at times which is hard to avoid when handed to me by donors .

​I hope the heavy feeling underneath is not anything serious for you
