hi, I have severe tricompartmental prolapse with cystocele and rectocele.It took one year for them to find my problem,  they have been treating me for constipation and inflammation, I am in soo much pain, that I am always tired working 8 to 10 hours a day has been very difficult and taking care of my 6 kids is almost impossible, I want to have my  surgery  done as soon as possible, did anyone had severe pain before surgery?

    Hi Lulu

    Have had what you have plus hyster. and avulsion. I'm 5 weeks out from surgery. I really feel for you with your life as it is. I dragged myself around for years and years making it so difficult to cope ache pain and exhaustion. 

    You need a uro gynae and also see a pelvic physio.  I have had the surgery 3 times so I can only stress that you need 3 months to heal adequately not completely. Lots of help as you need to be as horizontal as often  as possible.  Definitely no lifting carrying bending , sitting  or standing for very long.  You will need several months off work not weeks. 

    I hope you organise the right people , have all the help you need which is with everything  and the surgery is very soon.

    All the best
